Hope that everyone is well! I haven’t touched base with some of you in a while - sorry:(

Not gigging yet but intend to do so soon. I did, however, get some good news today: my song “The Days of Loving You” won an Honor Award in the 2007 Great American Song Contest. Nearly 2,000 songwriters from forty countries around the world entered the event.

I’m hoping to get back into the studio soon to begin recording my next CD. Plans to do so had to be cancelled a few times. I’ll keep you folks posted.

Be well and have a wonderful weekend,

Joe

Hi Folks! Hope that everyone is well!

I apologize for not saying hello sooner but I've been pretty busy & crazy in many good ways.

It's really great to know that my music is being played all over the world. Thank you so much for your emails.

I'm planning on going back into the studio soon to begin recording the 1st single off of my next CD. I hope to release it in early 2008. I'll definitely keep everyone posted.

Merry Christmas & Happy Hanukkah and all the best wishes for a Healthy & Happy New Year,
Joe

Hope that everyone is well.

I’d just like to let you know that I will be a featured artist in a talent showcase on internet radio station http://www.iLike2Rock.net Feb 8th - Feb 14th. To tune in, just click on the link. If you get a chance please have a listen.

Thanks & All the best,
Joe

Hope that everyone is fine!

Well, the Starliners Internet radio station just announced the winner of the Starliners Indie Award for 2006 and my song, The Days of Loving You, came in at Number 3. The Starliners internet station is broadcasted around the world and the link to it is on my "Links" page.

I must admit that I started to sweat once they began playing the 10 nominees beginning with the 10th ranking nominated artist. The sweating stopped once they came to the Number 3 song and then the tears started falling - Only kidding! I'm truly honored to be in the top 3 category.

Thanks so much for your votes.

Happy Holidays & all the best for a Healthy & Happy New Year

Joe

Hope that everyone is well!
Great News!
Just want to let you know that this past Saturday morning, November 18, 2006, my spirits were lifted and I was given a very nice compliment.
I received an email from The Starliners Internet Radio station which broadcasts internationally notifying me that my song, "THE DAYS OF LOVING YOU" is nominated for The Starliners Indie Award for 2006. There are 10 nominees in all.
Wow, it's no grammy nomination but it's still a trip to be recognized from folks all over the world.
My deepest gratitude to all of you who are relating to & enjoying my music.
God Bless you & Have a Very Happy Thanksgiving.

Hope that all of you are doing fine.

Sorry I had to cancel tomorrow night's performance at The Underground Lounge - not feeling well with a cold & a sore throat. I will, however, be back there on Saturday, October 28 at the 7:45 - 8:45 show.

I just have to acknowledge to you how wonderful & supportive a club The Underground Lounge is and I'm not saying that just because I've been playing there. The management are tops!!! They seem to attract a great crowd of warm friendly down to earth people. It’s really a great place to visit to have a good time. It's worth checking out:)

Hope to see you at my next show.

Stay Well & Be Happy,

Joe

PS That was NOT a paid advertisment lol

Hi Friends,
Hope that all of you are well. I've been pretty busy and there really hasn't been anything exciting for me to tell you since the last time. However, I'd just like to let you know that I will be perfoming some acoustic shows in New York City. You can check out the dates on the Calendar page. I'm pretty psyched.
Also, I've written a new song - "Wesley's Song" -yep about my cat - As you could imagine it's very special to me and most humbly I'm pretty sure that all other animal lovers could relate to it. Believe me, that little tiger buddy of mine was quite a trip!!! I'm anxious to record the song and release it as a single but I'm uncertain as to how I want to produce it. I'm trying not to take forever!

That's really it for now.
Hope to see you at my concerts.

Stay well,
Joe

Hi Friends,

I'm finally back on the music scene. It was a pretty rough year. Both of my parents were very ill and my main focus was on caring for them. Fortunately, my Mom recovered but my Dad passed away on November 23, 2005.
Another blow came to me on January 28, 2006 when I had to put down my cat, Wesley, my little soul to soul buddy. He had also been very ill.

Well, now that I've bummed everyone out - sorry :( – let me update you on the music.
I will soon be out performing acoustic shows but there are no dates available as of now. I've also written a few new songs, and have begun thinking about what other songs I’d like to include on my next CD.

That’s it for now.
Be well, be happy and cherish each day.

Later,
Joe
