:: B I O G R A P H Y ::

DON DILEGO was born in Western Massachusetts and grew up in the 70's. He often wore a yellow polyester suit jacket and plaid pant combo that his mom thought "was really groovy". Claims to have actually seen The Lone Ranger. First record purchased was Glen Campbell's "Rhinestone Cowboy". Lives in New York City across from Jack's Coffee. Probably drinks too much coffee. Talks to himself a little too much, and has about 200 or so unfinished songs that he "swears will be huge" one day, and is a vegetarian. "Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid" can be watched dozens of times on AMC with no loss of joy. Would most likely pick up his acoustic guitar to write a song but should probably do this on piano more often. There are also banjos, basses, harmonicas, tambourines, mandolins, accordians, and a wurlitzer strewn across his room in various states of disrepair. He really wishes he had a dog, but too often finds himself on the road. Mood sways way too proportionately with the successes and failures of the Boston Red Sox. Knows that if he can't decide what to listen to, "Sweetheart of the Rodeo", "Harvest", "Pink Moon" or "Being There" never feel wrong. Loves driving across country by himself and has never smoked a cigarette, though he admits it kinda looks cool sometimes. However, Don is not cool...despite being a lifelong musician. Loves pickup trucks. Some of the most talented people he knows are his friends and they're all broke too.
