050: Dan McNamara

After playing in Erie bands like Crossroads, The Younger Brothers, and others  in the 1970s, Dan McNamara decided to move to LA and try life as a professional musician. After playing in multiple bands — one of which was huge in Bavaria! —he eventually got a "real job" teaching music in the school system. He never stopped playing, though, and today he lives in Nashville. As Dickie Buckel said, "Dan's a cool guy and a fantastic drummer. A real pro."
