072: Chuck Leone

Not only did Chuck Leone play keyboards in many local bands like Anacrusis, Silverlight, Wave, The Cows, and Mr. Gone, he also traveled up and down the East Coast in a Tampa, FL-based band called Powerglide. In this episode, he talks about playing in Erie during the 1970s and '80s, his time on the road, and opening for artists/bands like Johnny Rivers, Foreigner, and Steppenwolf. 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.
