Dear Mr.Viglione,
Thank you for being a reviever/critic that I can count on. I used to be very adventurous in buying cds of acts that I haven't heard of and most the time it turns out to be rubbish; what a waste of money. These days I'm trying to economise by purchasing habit so I always check on your comments first before buying. 85 percent of the time your reviews makes sense to me and even when it doesn't, ...(in fact no one) can deny the brilliance of your writing. Jeffrey (Rois)

Hiya Joe -
…I've seen your name all over the AMG pages, I think
you're one of their most trusty reviewers! I definitely think having a copy of your review of the Jimi boot up on the auction site helped sell the record.
Someone's gotta keep the flame of all this old rock and roll alive!
…thanks for all the great reviews. You guys at
AMG are doing us all a great service, keep up the great work!
Whenever I hear about a band or artist I've never heard before and want to know which album to check out first, allmusic.com is always my first stop.
Take care Joe,

By the way, I've been an active musician in the Boston area for many years, and occasionally get a chance to see you on Burlington Cable Access, which I enjoy very much. Charlie Farren, The Stompers, John Butcher, The Atlantics, The Hoods, and New England were great bands that I've always idolized. Please feel free to include me on any email/postal mailing lists for events or shows that you're doing.
Again, thanks for the help.

This is a great beginning to a fabulous New Year for you (winning the Producer of the Year award in Winchester). Congratulations on being recognized for all of the dedicated work you have accomplished through out the year. And all of the years you have put into exposing , helping, promoting and producing great music locally and internationally. This is very impressive and could not have gone to a more dedicated person than you.
Warm Regards,

Joe, just wanted to say - besides than you - that you
are indeed one - if not the BEST - person when it
comes to knowing thee real scoop on Orleans over the
years. Our history, how we got from A to B, who was
involved where and when etc.
Beyond that, I happen to think that your
critiques are dead on target, especially with the
benefit of 20/20 hindsight. The fact that you called
these opinions at the concurrent time makes them all
the more credible. TTy soon, larry Hoppen
