Hollywood Joe has a never ending love of music....and sound.....

He is a guitarist first of all...and being that, it has influenced his singing as well as his songwriting....

While living here and there throughout the United States...he has made quite a few friends.....

Hollywood Joe is the name he dreamed up for himself while a hairdresser.....

People would often mention how he looked like certain movie stars, celebrities and musicians....including...James Dean...Davey Jones...Rory Calhoun...George Harrison...Tyrone Power....Paul McCartney and Elvis Presley....!

Hollywood Joe has managed to capture many a sound, style and influence while still maintaining his very own identity....

Along the way in his travels Joe has also been fortunate enough to pick up a few new ways to live....

Hollywood Joe tell of many a love affair, heartbreak and understanding of life.....

He seems to be at ease and very content in not being a world-wide figure.....

Maybe one day he will be....

Keep an eye on him....and an ear too....we may be hearing and seeing the next American Hero....

Now and then Hollywood Joe will just up and go out for a ride in his Buick Park Avenue....sometimes resulting in a 100 to 200 mile trip....

Pueblo, Colorado.... and many other cities have all at one time or another been called home for Hollywood Joe.....

Hollywood Joe now owns the Rattan furniture once used by the Beach Boys..... in their well-known recording studio in Malibu, California....

Speaking of the Beach Boys....he once met Dennis Wilson...the bushy-haired drummer of the Beach Boys while an employee at the world famous night club in Los Angeles...the Troubadour....!

Hollywood Joe also recalls a chance meeting with one of his all time favorite idols....George Harrison of the Beatles.....it was at the Gramercy Park Hotel in Greenwich Village, New York... George stepped off an elevator just as Joe was getting on....and they almost collided....thus starting up a short and never forgetful conversation between the two guitar players....It is something Hollywood Joe will never, ever forget....

Another big memory in Joe's mind is the day he watched Elvis Presley perform at Madison Square Garden.....!

The love for Rockabilly, Swing, Pop, Jazz, Rhythm and Blues, Love Songs, Country and good Rock and Roll has never been better exemplified than in his songwriting.....which he is ever so much active in....
