Hi,

This is Ron Gletherow introducing you to my good friend Tom Orecchio. I will be "caretaking" Tom's site, due to his ill health. Tom suffered a stroke last year, leaving him partially paralysed and almost totally blind. That's a pretty hard blow to take for a 43 year old family man, but Tom has the courage to carry on, "With A Little Help From My Friends", and also the devotion of his loving wife, Chris.

Tom and I have been friends since 1998, when I met him at a Jim Croce fan gathering that he organized. I now help Tom to run the Jim Croce Tribute Page at www.jimcrocefans.com.

Some time ago, Tom sent me a rough "Real Audio" file of a song he'd written called "Who Knew". I was knocked out by the song, and it appears as the acoustic version on Tom's music page (I've added a little piano and harmony vocal).

Recently, another tape came into our possession, of some of Tom's other compositions, recorded by himself, and VERY ably assisted by his friends, themselves great musicians:-

Frank Rokob - Lead Guitar

Dave Kondas - Lead Guitar

Anthony Nittoli - Bass / Keyboards

Chris McIntosh - Tenor Sax / Flute

Sit back and enjoy some great music by Tom Orecchio and his friends. I know you'll be as impressed as I was.

"Never Did Mean To Make You Cry" by Tom Orecchio is a Pop Rock production available on SoundClick. The sound is shaped by keyboard, acoustic and vocal, giving the song its signature feel. There is a quiet confidence to this track — the mark of an artist who understands the pop rock sound. It has reached the top 10 on the SoundClick Pop Rock chart, peaking at #10. Listeners who follow James and Taylor will feel right at home with this Tom Orecchio release on SoundClick.
