Jerome Abrams: Not Collidge Mateerial



Jerome Abrams is a doctor and a longtime practitioner of family medicine. After graduating from medical school in 1977 he did his residency in family medicine at the Franklin Square Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. After three years as an emergency room doctor he co-founded Dover Family Physicians, and stayed with that practice for thirty years before joining Family Medicine of Smyrna-Clayton.

Before entering medical school, Jerome Abrams received an undergraduate degree in philosophy from Franklin and Marshall College in 1973. So he is no stranger to higher and continuing education, and demonstrated a sense of the whimsical when he and some friends formed a classic rock band and turned off their spell-checkers by naming it Not Collidge Mateerial.

As with so many classic rock bands, Dr Jerry Abrams and Not Collidge Material stuck with the chestnuts from the 1969s and 1970s, with tunes from the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Led Zepplin, among many others. It was definitely a real-life version of the popular Rock Band video game.

Jerome Abrams was the piano and keyboard player for Not Collidge Material, and most enjoyed those classic rock tunes that are heavy on organ and other keys, like "96 Tears" by ? and the Mysterians, and "Light My Fire" by the Doors. 

Jerome Abrams has also been a licensed private pilot, although he has not kept up with flying in recent years. Other of his hobbies include photography, playing racquetball, reading, and traveling.
