About Joe:

I am crazy, clinically insane, actually. However, I do not want to hurt anyone or anything. I respect and love all beings, or try to, as much as possible. I love music, all genres, and listening, playing, and performing them. I am grateful for life and each day on this Earth. I wish all love and happiness. The snozzberries taste like snozzberries.

Quick Facts:

Inspired by: Everyone and everything, I try to find inspiration wherever possible.

Thankful for: Life, family, and having had the opportunity to know and learn from great musicians such as Noah Gest and Joe Morello.

Great Albums (in my humble opinion): Giant Steps (John Coltrane), Thrak (King Crimson), Time Out (The Dave Brubeck quartet), Hot Rats (Frank Zappa), Straight No Chaser (Thelonious Monk)

Currently: All ears.
