 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. Mary
Lee Kortes was looking for an accordion player and soon, with
the addition of guitar great Andy York,
Mary Lee's Corvette
was the new trio on the block. Joe played on three albums with
MLC and then started writing music for television and radio, as
well as playing on various national spots including Monday Night
Football and NBC News. After co-writing the theme for the "TBS
Basketball Game of the Week" which ran for five years, Pajamas
would find himself re-entering the world of REAL music once
again.
Pajamas hooked up with Stephen Butler who also worked with Mary
Lee, and they agreed that their common musical backgrounds and
tastes would work well together. Steve would not only be playing
guitar on the new CD, but he would be producing it as well.
Joey Pajamas is proud to announce that his band Baldwin Drive
has released their debut CD "Orange & Black" on
Zip Records.
