| Dick Buckel | Guitar |
Dick, one of Crosstown's original members who still lives in Erie, PA, has continued performing all around the country. In Las Vegas, he was a member of the enormously popular Ricky & the Red Streaks. During the '70s, he toured with the well known showband, Orange Colored Sky. He was so busy, in fact, that when Country music star, Lee Greenwood approached him to join his band, Dick had to decline. He and drummer, Joey Salarino, are as busy as ever with their local Erie duo, Mercy. Besides his playing, Dick has a flourishing business that provides Real Estate title searches for many local attorneys. |
| John Horton | Keyboards | His travels with the Rick James band and his recordings on te Philadelphia International record label have kept his skills sharp over the years. Since returning to Erie, John's been the music director and organist of the First AME Church. He had the responsibility, recently, of conducting seven different Gospel choirs for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday celebrations around town. |
| Louie Urosevic | Bass | Louie, a.k.a Lou Savage, has lived in Los Angeles for nearly 20 years. His musical journey has taken him from perfomances with Jay Leno and Bob Hope, to The Righteous Brothers and Percy Sledge, all the way to the Crystal Cathedral Symphony Orchestra. He's also performed as an actor on several TV shows such as The District, Days of Our Lives and Port Charles, and for a time, was "the voice of" Lexus and Universal Studios Hollywood. |
| Bill DiPlacido | Trumpet | This successful businessman has had a thriving data communications company in Erie since the early '90s when he left the restrictions of corporate life and started NCI Technologies. He hasn't looked back since. He was selected, while in the armed forces, to play trumpet in the US Coast Guard Concert Band. These days, when he's not overseeing wireless networks for GE Transportation Systems, he writes music in his own electronic studio. |
