About me:
I'm "The Professor," Jim Price, and I'm a live music junkie. If a live band or musician is playing around the area, I'm there to check it out. Music is my life...I play it on the radio, I go to see it live, I write about it, I support it! I've been rocking on the radio for over 25 years, and recently joined up with Rocky 104.9, an Altoona area rock station. At present, I work part-time, and host the local music program "The Homegrown Rocker" every Sunday night from 9 to 11 PM. I write a column called "The Professor Speaks" for "Pennsylvania Musician" (www.pamusician.net), a regional music publication based near Harrisburg, PA. I write about music happenings in a six-county area including Blair, Cambria, Centre, Huntingdon, Bedford and Clearfield Counties in west-central PA. I've been writing for "Pennsylvania Musician" since June, 1987. I also am a co-administrator and writer for Rockpage (www.rockpage.net) , a local music website based in Altoona, PA. I do weekly recaps of shows I see in the region, and also post occasional CD reviews, commentaries and other wanderings of my sick and demented mind. And after years of using the name "The Professor" on the radio and in print, I am now a lecturer at Penn State Altoona, teaching news writing and reporting.
Who I'd like to meet:
People who are into music with a passion the way I am. People who are fun-loving, who live each day to its fullest, and who try to make a difference. People who like to like to milk every ounce of sweat and energy out of every day!

Hey guys, just a quick reminder about the shows we have coming up,

Can you believe it's November already?! This week, November 13th, The Dangerous Summer, Mercy Mercedes, Between The Trees, Single File & The Goodnight Anthem all return on The AbsolutePunk.net Fall Tour! Then the following week, on the 21st, is the first of many $5 all local shows. These will be on the weekends so everyone can come and be cheap so everyone can afford them. The reason for these is, i feel like there is a pretty big lack of unity within our music scene lately. I remember the days of $5 shows, when i first started going to shows. Everyone was singing the words to every one of the local bands songs, free burnt cds so you could learn those words, bbq's, cd swaps, pickup games of whatever sport was around, and a most importantly a sense of unity. This is as cheap as they are gonna get people, so come to a show! Lastly we have Vanna, Therefore I Am & A Loss For Words coming through on December 1st on the This Is New England Tour! More local shows are in the works as well as the annual holiday show. New tours for early next year too, don't blink!

You can find links for advance tickets, codes for the e-flyers to help promote, and directions to all of our upcoming shows, along with updates and anything else you could possibly need at (http://www.myspace.com/anemergencyscene)!..
