071: Rick Krasinski

Rick Krasinski has played in many bands, some of which include the Monarchs, Aura, Pluto, Tite Endz, The Breeze, Nightshift, The Return, Heartless, and the Lone Rider Band. At 69, he continues to play steady gigs as the drummer and one of the singers in Twisted Lid. In this interview, we go back into his time machine (which is actually another of his band names) to relive some of his favorite music moments, including a gig at the 1978 Moon Meadows Rock-N-Roll Festival.

Thanks to the JPT Foundation for sponsoring the Erie Music History podcast. The goal of the foundation is to provide education scholarships to grade school-age children as well as annual giving to local organizations and charities. The foundation has a large hall that hosts bingo four days a week and is available for rentals, and it is also the home of this podcast’s monthly music night, which is the first Tuesday of the month from 6PM-9PM.  

Many thanks to folks like Angelo Phillips, Tom Lane, and Mike Miller who have donated to the podcast. If you would like to help out, Venmo me at @Dan-Schell-6.
