A WORD OF THANKS . . .

After noticing that my favorite drummer, Joe Vitale, was listed on Linked In, I sent him a request to please check out my website.   He did and thought it was a great looking site!  Thanks, Joe!  I owe it all to my webmaster and good friend Maria Riverso. Kudos Maria!

I first heard Joe's drumming on the Top 40 hit "Rocky Mountain Way" and saw him in concert with Joe Walsh & Barnstorm during 1972 at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD.  Since then Joe has amassed an impressive list of album credits including Crosby, Stills & Nash while releasing three solid solo recordings of his own.
