THANK YOU, GREG!
I want to thank Joe Viglione for his thoughtful review of my music, and for paying attention.
I became a major fan of Joe's when I was twenty when I first saw him, as Count Viglione, climb into the ceiling above the stage at Cantones. He knew then what most musicians never learn; that entertainment is a value proposition.
If people are going to pay to see you; they are to be entertained.
I've been following his outstanding journalism on FB for years, which reflects that theme. He's done more in the past year to promote my music and getting it played than I have, and I am extremely grateful. Thank you, Joe.

Letter From Andy PrattThis is a portion of a letter from Andy Pratt to a family member about the man who handled his business affairs in 2004 for Andy's own management company.
Thank you, Andy, for your kind words.
FROM ANDY PRATT to his brother:
This is the first time I have made money on my music, other than minor things, maybe in my whole life, certainly since 1978. Joe knows almost everybody in the music industry, is very smart, and honest. I am very impressed and pleased with his work.
Rock Star Andy Pratt has a song featured in the movie Velvet Goldmine.
He is known internationally.
AVENGING ANNIE BY ANDY PRATT
"for my poor lover, I cried like a mother for my poor lover...I left and I knew I should...I knew I couldn't do him no good...
i might go back to my floyd, if I think it's the thing to do
he gave up murder and theft right after I left
and you know I still love him too
just like your woman loves you!

CAT IN THE DARK, A BIG HIT ON WBOS
OEDIPUS WENT NUTS WHEN HIS NEMESIS
MAXANNE STARTED PLAYING MY SONG ON THE AIR
DAILY
'Daily rotation on WBOS? Not with Maxanne the Whale, Greenpeace is going to tow her back into the water."
That was our dear old Aunty Oedi at a dinner with the late Pete Shelley of the Buzzcocks. Pete was a great guy. He ran off with my girlfriend and I wrote him a thank you note.
_____________________________________________
JV to ex girlfriend: "That guy Peter lives with in the castle in the U.K.? It's his BOYFRIEND!
Ex girlfriend: "They're just friends."
JV: "Oh grow up! He's living with a guy!"
Some months later ex girlfriend calls "The dude ran off with a woman and married her. He WAS Peter's boyfriend!"
Sheesh...when will you people learn that I am always right. "I'm a trafficker of information" Just Like
The Merovingian in the Matrix
Oedi to my ex girlfriend
Oedipus: "Look at your track record with men, Jxxxx -
Joe V, Richard, Peter...all homosexuals..."
JV: Oedipus is missing the biggest homo of all...himself!
She told me about a night at St. Eulalia's in Winchester when they were doing it in a snowbank (????) and she looked up and saw the statue of the Virgin Mary staring down at her...oh well, that's rock and roll...naughty naughty ...all the secrets come out on Medford Information Central
If so, Brian Burke will throw a party!
