Here are some of my favorite links:

Yahoo My primary e-mail host, for my more "serious" business. Try explaining that "Hayroller" concerns a hay allergy discovered at the time farmers were beginning to roll instead of bale hay, or just use "bts63 at yahhoo.com." I choose the latter.

Hotmail This is where I have my secondary e-mail box. It's suffered from its assimilation into the Gates Cube. What hasn't?

Mail.com The place where I have my tertiary e-mail address. It's a free e-mail that suufers from too many pop-ups.

Formerly WebLinks. Tony Payne, director.

Severna Park High School

The official site of my old high school.

Hagerstown Community College HCC. This is my second community college's web site. It shows course schedules, faculty rosters, and information on other clubs, among other things. What a great way to waste seven years of my life.

ART CLUB E-Page I initiated and designed this page.

The Evan Crossley E-Gallery The Art Club's on-line virtual gallery, as of Friday, 12 March 1999.

INTERNATIONAL CLUB E-Page I initiated and designed this page too.

HUMAN SERVICE CLUB I was asked by a club member to just help her club set up a web page--OK, I went overboard and set them up in business. But who better to design the Social Workers' Club?

AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDENT UNION I was asked by the lady who is trying to revamp interest in the college's old Black Student Union to get her on the web. I really spent some time on this one--only to be completely destroyed by Angelfire. So, without a back-up, it was back to basics here. I do like the background. It's from Hee Yun of Korea, as are many of my backgrounds. Again, who better to start this page than the definitive hysterically white guy?

RADIO CLUB Formerly: "Student Government Association's Communications Committee". I was elected chair of this committee (no-one else wanted to do it). It was started to promote better interclub communication. I was trying to get a very low watt radio station for the campus. I put on this page stuff that did not make it to the school paper or bulletin. Also home of the CRANE, the Campus Reach Audio Nearcasting Endeavor, I decided to keep the site after the proposal was denied--with upgrades--so that if anyone wanted to start up the campus Radio Club again, they wouldn't have to start at square one.

Surry Community College The college I attended from Fall 1981 thru Summer 1983. Someone's changed their front page it seems....

Northern Lower Michigan My Petoskey dream vacation. Also, Charlevoix, MI.

The Official Maryland State Lottery Authority Site & Maryland Lottery Results The only way I'll ever get to Petoskey.

Nat'l Geographic Traveller The way I vacation now.

Cobb Applets

Music & Media

David A. Alberding An acoustic guitarist/singer-songwriter, who I've heard play at Port City Java in Hagerstown, Maryland.

Dixie Creek Revival A bluegrass band from the Surry County, NC area.

Donegal Xpress I heard them perform while working Frederick's Pangaea Festival in May 2009.

Hagerstown Municipal Band Hagerstown's own summertime brass band, formed in 1915.

Hickory Ridge A bluegrass band from the Greencastle, PA area.

David LaFleur An acoustic folk artist living near Martinsburg, I've heard him play a couple of times at Port City Java in Hagerstown. He plays guitar, mandolin, and lap ducilmer.

Pilgrim & Trout Although I've never heard him live(!), David's from old Cresston Park too.

Sister Sweet Formerly, "Bella Vibe." A mostly acoustic rock band from Richmond, VA--and soon, everywhere. There's a bit of blues and folk in their music, be it a cover or an original.

Casey & Chris and the Two-Stringers A sister-and-brother band with roots in Winchester, VA, they now hail from Nashville. I've heard them twice at Beck & Benedict Hardware & Music Theater in Waynesboro, PA. It's nice to see a younger generation not only keeping this genre alive but giving strong contributions to its songbook. Regrettably, they disbanded in late 2007, though they continue with the music.

State Senator Todd Rock

BCC News The "Beeb" is the best (and oldest) world news source.

Wide Web A good state-by-state source for internet links to radio stations, television stations, and newspapers--dailies and weeklies. Just ignore all the voluptuous women.

I also created this site for a friend:
