His signature sound of the Jersey Shore. Four decades ofirrepressible music and energy. I knew all about Joe when I started myjournalism career 15 years ago. A year into who, what, why, I’m working the RedCarpet at the First Annual Big Man’s Birthday Bash (Clarence Clemons) in AsburyPark with my co-reporter, Tara-Jean McDonald, and my son. On top of my list tointerview. Joe Bonanno. And the rest is pure history. I waited this long timefor another opportunity. I’m thrilled beyond. Joe is the essence of JerseyShore music. And funny, his wife Tara-Jean is that essence of food, restaurantreporting/publishing at the Jersey shore. (Tara-Jean is next week). I’ve knownJoe, and when I see him perform, three words resonate. Soul. Fire. Stage. Hisband, The Godsons of Soul, is Jersey unique. His band is a family. We talkedabout that. There is high energy and emotion in every show. I asked about earlymusic foundations. He was eight, was dropped off at Seton Hall University, andsaw The Four Seasons. A lifelong love of music. Joe is the embodiment of Jerseymusic, that fierce, soulful and gritty sound. And I found out that Joe was areally good basketball player. If I only knew that fifteen years ago, One onOne. Tonight was magical for me.” Calvinhttps://www.youtube.com/c/ConversationswithCalvinWetheSpecIEs707 Interviews/Videos  9200 SUBSCRIBERS   PLEASESUBSCRIBE GLOBAL Reach. Earth Life.
