Dropping out of college was easy. Keeping a cover band working in the 70's was even easier. But when Joe Chiofalo and his then band mates started recording his material in search of a record deal, the usual pitfalls ensued. Drummers found god, bass players found love, guitar players found real jobs and Joe found himself starting from scratch again and again.

With the help of an engineer friend, Joe started working as a studio keyboard player. But it was the accordion that landed him the gig on The SAINTS, Prodigal Son album, and subsequent tours in Australia and Europe. A soon to be life long friendship with the Saints captain Chris Bailey would bring the two together again in Memphis for work on Demons.

It wasn't long before the squeeze box hit pay dirt again. Stephen Butler of Smash Palace (remember that name) co-writer, and a studio singer / songwriter by the name of Mary Lee Kortes were looking for an accordion player. And, with the addition of guitar great Andy York, Mary Lee's Corvette was born. Three albums later, Joe started writing music for television and played on various national spots including Monday Night Football, NBC News. After co-writing the theme for the "TBS Basketball Game of the Week" which ran for five years, it was time to re-enter the world of REAL music, and songs..., and albums..., with covers..., and lyrics..., and live shows and... well, you get the idea.
