A New Calling

Still Protesting after all these Years

2009-03-14T13:55:00.002-05:00

Here on the Supreme Court steps in Hartford CT you can spot me in black with a bunch of Conservatives holding a Tea Party to oppose the latest Government Bailout. I am yelling/singing one of our slogans, and yes I was holding a note here... AHHHHH!

"America" Music Video gets Standing O

2008-10-02T19:39:00.002-05:00

Last Saturday Night at the Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts ( Belding Theatre) I presented on large screen my "America" Music Video which received a standing ovation. The crowd was mesmerized as will you be when you view it. Next week I release it on my website www.JosephVisconti.com and to the world through the Internet. Just in time for Veterans day I hope millions of Americans can see this video and become inspired, motivated and reverant when viewing pictures of the great sacrifices of the American Soldier.

4 More Tracks with Dad in my Heart

2008-08-16T08:02:00.005-05:00

Here's a pic of me and my dad, Joe Sr. at Sloane Kettering in NYC this past winter before he passed over. Always sporting a smile he was so encouraging to me in his last days to run for Congress and give em hell and get my Music out to the World as life is so short. Dad especially liked my 20 song Musical Rough Tracks we listened to together in his kitchen at home in his final weeks titled "The Madonna" a very religious work based on The Rosary which is waiting in the wings for me to get out to the public. The First song from "The Madonna" I wrote back in 1973 on my 1909 broken player piano I got for free. I Had to haul it out of someones basement in West Hartford though; dad helped me haul it and the event made him realize how committed I was to Music.

I haven't posted here in a while because I have been busy on the campaign trail, in production for the Music video's, running my construction business, getting my 3 kids ready for college and school, serving on the Town Council and working with my arranger on adding 4 more tracks to my upcoming CD. The new song titles for the CD are:

Heartbreak Boulevard : An old time Country sound with old time lyrics, we may be using the washboard and Ukulele.

Can't You See: An Arabian Dance Song with a Driving Bass line I wrote in 92.

Saying it all with Love: Upbeat and corny but hey, it works.

Mr Media: Political is the best word to describe this anti-media tune with lyrics custom made for bloggers. When the Media sells out as they have we are all in peril, I call em out here, what did you expect?.

"GOOD LUCK BACK"

2008-06-29T09:07:00.005-05:00

Here's a glimpse of the feel for another Music Video I am in production for to my song "Good Luck Back". the song can be sampled on my website http://www.josephvisconti.com/ or on Itunes. "Good Luck Back" was written by me a couple of years ago when I was entering some hard times, divorce and my Dad's losing fight with Lung Cancer, the lyrics are about these personal experiences. As millions of Americans are now going through similar experiences and others worse I hope this Music Video will bring them strength to keep fighting the fight.
You can seen in the Pic above people exposed to the elements, the "Bon-fire Reality" portrays the "Spirit of American Survival" as we all traverse the current Materialistic Wilderness. Singing "Good Luck Back"brought me back from the Grave of Hopelessness. The Lyrics go like this:

Good Luck Back

Verse 1
I’ve been holding a cross since I lost what I used to own
I’m letting it ring cause there’s no one but bills that phone
I’m laying it down so the lights can stay on at home
I’m waiting in line cause there aint no where else to go
I’m fed up with bad luck and fed up with negative news
I’m gonna get good luck back
I’ve had it with hard luck lack
I’ve had it with taking flack
I’ve had being used
I’m gonna get good luck back
I’m gonna get back on track
I’m gonna be where it’s at
Wherever I choose
I’m gonna get off my knees
I’m gonna get what I please
I’m gonna get so damn free
I’m gonna get you
I’m gonna get you
Whatever I do
I’m gonna get you hoo hoo
I’m gonna get you

Verse 2
I’m praying for work and for health and for sanity
And praying for nights where I sleep without panicking
I ‘m hoping my kids can survive the establishment
I’m mad at the world and the man and the government
I’m fed up with bad luck and fed up with all of their rules
I’m gonna get good luck back
I’ve had being overtaxed
I’ve had it with wait for that
I’ve learned from that school
I’m gonna get good luck back
I’m gonna get what I had
I’m gonna get more than that
I aint gonna lose
I’m gonna get self esteem
I finally know what that means
I’m gonna get all my dreams
I’m gonna get you
I’m gonna get you
Whatever I do
I’m gonna get you hoo hoo
I’m gonna get you

Verse 3
I’ve been fighting the fight in this dark life of misery
I’m holding on tight to a world I thought couldn’t be
I’m giving my living to everyone else but me
I’m trapped in a time where they’re outsourcing liberty
I’m fed up with bad luck and fed up with everyone’s views
I’m gonna get good luck back
I’m gonna put on my hat
I’m gonna sit where I sat
Up high with a view
I’m gonna get good luck back
I’m gonna be King not Jack
I’m gonna get autographed
I’m gonna be news
I’m gonna have time to breathe
I’m gonna teach birds to sing
I’m gonna be lovin me
I’m gonna love you
I’m gonna love you
Whatever I do
I’m gonna love you hoo hoo
I’m gonna love you
I’m gonna love you – (repeat and fade)

Visconti's America Music Video in the Works

2008-05-21T11:23:00.005-05:00

Here's a little news on my next Video Production. In the planning for almost a year now is a Music Video to compliment my song "America". Taking my production team to levels where we hope to win a Grammy as a tribute to all those who have defended Freedom since the birth of our Nation. With hundreds of bikers, Jet fighter, Submarine, Battleship footage and all the scenes of Glory & Honor one could hope for. My Emmy Award winning Artisitic Brain is very excited about this project especially after the passing of my dad a couple of months ago, this is my way of thanking him for serving our country. The America Music Video will remind us all of what it is to be American and why so many gave their lives to defend her. Watch for more on this Production coming soon....

Well I got a little sidetracked the last couple of years with some personal stuff but on Friday April 11th I went back into the recording studio to begin working on completing my Album. Joe Greico my arranger is working on 10 songs of mine to be recorded with local talented musicians and the Team from Tapeworks on Maple Avenue in Hartford.
