What's the best thing about the Twin Tiers?

The scenery. There's nothing like a drive around the Finger Lakes or a picnic on Harris Hill.

It's gotta be pasta..or probably Chinese. Of course, a tuna sandwich and a Mounds bar and I'm all yours!

"Air" by Bach. "Moonlight Serenade", by Glenn Miller. "BeBop A Lula" by Gene Vincent. "In My Life" or everything by the Beatles. Oh, and John Lennon's "Beautiful Boy".

The Beatles.

And your favorite concert or performance was what?

Paul McCartney in 2003, and The Who, back in 1999.
