More info about me (in case you care)

My name is Tom.  I'm a Dad in his early 40's with a loving family, a career in Engineering, and I like to fiddle with computers, electronics, and cars.  My #1 hobby is, of course,  music.
 
A conservative Engineer and family guy by day....a Rocker by night!!!  A true Gemini, indeed.  Thank god I have a very understanding wife.

I grew up in Northern NJ most of my life & live in Morris county.
