The Monterays Era (2002-present)
In January 2002, Dan Elliott invited Ron to take Jack Abert's place in The Monterays. Ron moved from Bass to Lead Guitar with the departure of Dave Moziak in 2005. The Monterays perform around 100 shows a year and are working on a new album.
Ron and his son Ronnie Dark were part of the pit band for East Syracuse-Minoa's production of "Grease" (performed February 9 and 10, 2007)
The Monterays were the lead in band for the 2007 Taste of Syracuse SAMMY (Syracuse Area Music Awards) Pre-Awards Show (held on June 1, 2007)
Also, Ron and The Monterays were one of the featured performers at the Syracuse Nationals (July 21 and 22, 2007). The Monterays performed on the Stan Colella Stage at the New York State Fair
A re-recorded version of "Seaweed" by The RLB was used as the closing theme to Around the Tracks, the auto racing program hosted by Joe Marotta and broadcast on WTLA AM (April 2008-January 2009). Ron is the network announcer for his son Ronnie Dark's radio program THE WAX MUSEUM, broadcast Sunday nights 7-10pm on LOVE RADIO WVOA 95.3 FM (and on the internet at http://www.wvoaradio.com/listenonline)

Famous quotes containing the word era:
“Erasmus was the light of his century; others were its strength: he lighted the way; others knew how to walk on it while he himself remained in the shadow as the source of light always does. But he who points the way into a new era is no less worthy of veneration than he who is the first to enter it; those who work invisibly have also accomplished a feat.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
