Squirrels can entertain people just
with the various squirrel
memes on their Facebook
page.
Its almost a bonus that
they happen to play music.
A lot of it is classic rock
songs by Jethro Tull, The
Who, Bob Seger, The Doors,
The Kinks, Tom Petty, Bad
Company, Billy Joel and
The Grateful Dead.
If we know (a requested
song), well do it. If you
can bop to it and you like

it, well give it a shot, said

guitarist/vocalist Bob Succio, who particularly enjoys
playing songs by The Beatles and Led Zeppelin.
The five-piece band
also has tunes
by Maroon 5,
INXS, KC and
T he Sunshine Band,
Stone Temple Pilots,
Sublime,
Rancid,
Weezer, Elvis
Costello and
Social Distortion
in its arsenal.
Also in the Dead Sea
Squirrels are Tony Straccione (vocals/guitar), Mark
Vita (bass/vocals), Dr. Paul
Greene (keyboards) and
Doug Gramo (drums/percussion). Three of them are

educators a teacher at
Springfield Middle School,
a professor at Penn State
Brandywine and a professor at Delaware County
Community College.
The band got its
start when Succio caught up
w ith,
and
started jamming w ith,
his nephew,
Gramo.
It was kind
of an accident
almost. I hadnt
seen h i m si nc e
he was 10, Succio said.
Gramo is now in his 40s.
Where did that name
a zany spin on the name
for a set of ancient Jewish
historical and religious
parchment/papyrus texts
come from?

If we know
(a requested
song), well
do it. If you
can bop to it
and you like
it, well give it
a shot.

joke, Succio said.
