I've gotten a few questions about the title of this blog. I was a bandleader in B'klyn and much of my work was with the mafia. I played the inaugural party for "The Italian American Civil Rights League" with Joe Colombo and many more events for the mafia. I did see some crazy stuff and met some well known mafia members such as Hugh "Apples" MacIntosh (Colombo's most feared enforcer), Carmine "The Snake' Persico, and even Sammy "The Bull" Gravano. In my life Music and Mafia went hand in hand. I'm saving the best for my book. See you soon

Welcome

Welcome to my new blog. During my career in music I have come across some facinating people and some that most of us would not want to know. At present I am performing in one of the busiest Doo Wop Groups in the South Florida area. Many years ago I owned one of the most popular after hours clubs in Brooklyn and played host to a variety of people including members of the mafia. In the weeks to come I will be sharing some of my experiences, both in my present life and my former life. Don't forget to check back because I guarantee you a wild ride.

In the meantime if you are interested in hearing the group please visit our website for times and places. www.joeydale.com
