2FS Meet the Band from Boston

After spending 4 years in high school at 4 different schools, Dan has attended Harvard, Yale and MIT football games.

He likes to play chess with kids during recess at the middle school down the street from his home and brags that he wins more than he loses. Poss, Rickola and Rusty dispute that and confide with anyone willing to listen that he has yet to win a match.

The jury is out on Dan's favorite Massachusetts campground but he will participate in a Zagats 2006 survey to be published later this year.

Born and raised in Natick Massachusetts Rick started playing drums at the early age of 9yrs old then eventually was kicked out of the school band in 8th grade for being a pain in the ass!

Favorite quote:" A good way to threaten somebody is to light a stick of dynamite. Then you call the guy and hold the burning fuse up to the phone. "Hear that?" you say. "That's dynamite, baby. once Rick said "Ricardo Montalban is my favorite actor because I always wanted to have a small assistant. -Makes me feel bigger, I guess"

Rick was raised on Bluegrass but now prefers rye grasses and some of the hybrids their using at his country club.

Possum plays bass in the band and sings a bit too. By day, "Poss" pursues his passion and works with developmentally challenged gray squirrels at the Center for Haelthy Nut Gatherers, in a secret research project funded by the lithuanian navy. Unfortunately for all of us, his research is classified and he can only share that his work will benefit all different kinds of squirrels -not just gray ones.

Poss lives in a posh Boston suburb, likes to ride freestyle and street BMX, and really enjoys a good strong cocktail or three when unwinding. "hey, doing the squirrel thing can pretty stressful"

Rusty hails from Dallas Texas and was actively involved in politics but fled due to the threat of neoconservative hit squads that were dispatched to silence voices of reason late last year. Their loss, our gain! His virtuous lead guitar has elevated the band to new heights and his background in macro economics is helping the band develop a political agenda that could pave the way for increased growth in the US economy during this transition to globalization. Rusty treasures his time away from the band as he is frequently called on to participate in bipartisan economic thinktanks for his Keynesian perspective.

When he's not playing guitar or using his calculator, he can be found feeding pigeons in and around the Fens in Boston's Back Bay. His favorite food is roasted habenero peppers and finely minced garlic with thick slices of norwegian goat cheese on paper-thin slices of whole wheat artisan bread warmed in the microwave for 15 seconds each.
