<p>Hi,
I hope that everyone is well and had a great summer.
It’s been a while since my last correspondence.
In the interim, some good things have been happening. My music is being played more and more around the world and the hits to my websites as you can see have been growing - As of today: 350,648 hits here on my main site and 18,085 hits on myspace. In addition, I am now on Facebook.
The song that I wrote for my Dad has been receiving many warm compliments.
I also received some good news this week. I was voted Artist of the Month for November on the Netherlands internet radio station, The Starliners. You can hear the special broadcast by going to www.starliners.net . On the right side of the page is a scroll and under my picture is a music box. Just click on it and up I come - lol. You may also listen to this special on the podcast by clicking this link: http://starliners.podomatic.com/enclosure/2009-10-29T00_36_18-07_00.mp3
In addition, I’ve been nominated for The Starliners Artist of the Year Indie Award 2010. In the near future, I will once again be asking for your support and would greatly appreciate your votes.
I’ll keep you posted.
That’s it for now my friends.
Have a wonderful weekend and many thanks for your continued support.
Much Love,
Joe</p>

<p>Hi Folks,
Hope that everyone is well!
I have finally released a new song - Dad (The Highest Light). It’s an acoustic track (vocal-guitar), and it is a tribute to my dad who passed away a couple of years ago.
My Dad was also a musician. He pushed aside that dream when I was born and returned to school to seek a more stable career. He succeeded in becoming a highly respected civil engineer. In my heart, I believe that his greatest success though was in raising my brother and me and by being the faithful and loving husband that he was to my Mom. His tough surface far contradicted his warm and loving heart.
Hope that you like his song, and by all means any feedback is most welcome.
Be well and have a wonderful day,
Joe</p>
Joe Calderonetag:joe-calderone.com,2005:Post/61703632009-03-09T17:00:00-07:002020-01-21T08:46:02-08:00Hello Again
<p>Just want to say a quick hello - Hope that all of you faithful fans of my music are well & wearing a smile amidst all of the craziness & confusion that presently exists in the world.
I’m certainly feeling the craziness myself but doing my utmost best to rise above it all! It’s not easy BUT!!!
On a really good note, I just noticed that my track, GET BACK INTO BUSINESS from my 1st CD – ha-ha – my only CD at the immediate moment is 1 of the 2 most voted songs on the internet radio station http://www.gatorbroadcasting.com/gator/index.php. It’s really a wonderful feeling to know that folks like you are connecting with me
Anyway, I’ve written a few new songs that I am looking forward to recording as soon as possible.
Have to go now – its 5:23 AM & I need some sleep.
Stay well & really do your best to rise above the nonsense that we may all encounter.
Much Love My Friends,
Joe</p>

<p>Hi Folks,
Hope that everyone is well!
I'd just like to let you know that I've been honored to have the 4th track on my CD, THE BANG SONG remixed by DJ Magyo, a top international DJ in Italy. The remix is STRICTLY house/dance music and it's mostly instrumental. If get a chance, please click on the link below to have a listen. (This link will take you to Magyo's myspace site.)

Also, two additional remixes of the same track are presently in production by another top 50 international DJ - Coco Ariaz who is based in Shanghai. Hopefully, they will be completed before Christmas.
These remixes are a blessing to me for being an additional means of gaining more global exposure. It's wild!!!
Anyway, that's all the news for now.
Once again, thanks for your support:)

<p>Hope that everyone is well! I haven’t touched base with some of you in a while - sorry:(
Not gigging yet but intend to do so soon. I did, however, get some good news today: my song “The Days of Loving You” won an Honor Award in the 2007 Great American Song Contest. Nearly 2,000 songwriters from forty countries around the world entered the event.

Be well and have a wonderful weekend,

<p>Hope that everyone is fine!
Well, the Starliners Internet radio station just announced the winner of the Starliners Indie Award for 2006 and my song, The Days of Loving You, came in at Number 3. The Starliners internet station is broadcasted around the world and the link to it is on my "Links" page.
I must admit that I started to sweat once they began playing the 10 nominees beginning with the 10th ranking nominated artist. The sweating stopped once they came to the Number 3 song and then the tears started falling - Only kidding! I'm truly honored to be in the top 3 category.
Thanks so much for your votes.
Happy Holidays & all the best for a Healthy & Happy New Year
Joe</p>

<p>Hope that everyone is well!
Great News!
Just want to let you know that this past Saturday morning, November 18, 2006, my spirits were lifted and I was given a very nice compliment.
I received an email from The Starliners Internet Radio station which broadcasts internationally notifying me that my song, "THE DAYS OF LOVING YOU" is nominated for The Starliners Indie Award for 2006. There are 10 nominees in all.
Wow, it's no grammy nomination but it's still a trip to be recognized from folks all over the world.
My deepest gratitude to all of you who are relating to & enjoying my music.
God Bless you & Have a Very Happy Thanksgiving.</p>

<p>Hope that all of you are doing fine.
Sorry I had to cancel tomorrow night's performance at The Underground Lounge - not feeling well with a cold & a sore throat. I will, however, be back there on Saturday, October 28 at the 7:45 - 8:45 show.
I just have to acknowledge to you how wonderful & supportive a club The Underground Lounge is and I'm not saying that just because I've been playing there. The management are tops!!! They seem to attract a great crowd of warm friendly down to earth people. It’s really a great place to visit to have a good time. It's worth checking out:)
Hope to see you at my next show.
Stay Well & Be Happy,
Joe
PS That was NOT a paid advertisment lol</p>

<p>Hi Friends,
Hope that all of you are well. I've been pretty busy and there really hasn't been anything exciting for me to tell you since the last time. However, I'd just like to let you know that I will be perfoming some acoustic shows in New York City. You can check out the dates on the Calendar page. I'm pretty psyched.
Also, I've written a new song - "Wesley's Song" -yep about my cat - As you could imagine it's very special to me and most humbly I'm pretty sure that all other animal lovers could relate to it. Believe me, that little tiger buddy of mine was quite a trip!!! I'm anxious to record the song and release it as a single but I'm uncertain as to how I want to produce it. I'm trying not to take forever!
That's really it for now.
Hope to see you at my concerts.
Stay well,
Joe</p>

<p>Hi Friends,
I'm finally back on the music scene. It was a pretty rough year. Both of my parents were very ill and my main focus was on caring for them. Fortunately, my Mom recovered but my Dad passed away on November 23, 2005.
Another blow came to me on January 28, 2006 when I had to put down my cat, Wesley, my little soul to soul buddy. He had also been very ill.
Well, now that I've bummed everyone out - sorry :( – let me update you on the music.
I will soon be out performing acoustic shows but there are no dates available as of now. I've also written a few new songs, and have begun thinking about what other songs I’d like to include on my next CD.
That’s it for now.
Be well, be happy and cherish each day.
Later,
Joe</p>
