Joe Chircoknew he was born to be a drummer from the Christmas Day, aged five, that he received his first drum set. What makes him positively unique among drummers has been his need to play in many different genres. As most working musicians do, he's a member of a number of different bands – but few could list bands that have Jazz, Latin, Reggae, and Rock as their main styles. This subtle versatility, along with the soulful power that every rock band needs, has brought him to the Donna Jean Godchaux Band.

Hey Joe Chirco, Thanks for the friendship! How are things in New York? It's finally Summer here in Milwaukee as the earth has completed its seasonal shift on its axis. I saw you were a friend of Deepak Chopra's, so I thought you might be interested in a new healthy Ayurvedic beverage and ground floor home-based business he's endorsing called Zrii, which features the healing Amalaki fruit from the Himalayas. I hope this finds you well. Have a great week! Wishing you peace, love, and prosperity, Paul Kuhn Cellocaster, Violin, Vocals, Zrii Milwaukee via Aspen via D.C.
