Videos From The UPS Show, Horsepower Breakfast This Sunday

As most of you already figured out, if I had not taken the automotive path, I would be a musician. I am totally all embracing as far as music is concerned from Classical to Heavy Metal and all points in between.  My friends in New Hampshire will remember that I was in a band by the name of, The Baker River Valley Blues and Jug Band. So blue grass is a great outlet for me. I…
