Joe Giampino
1962-2011
This song was written by my
daughter Riley as I prepared to leave for Maine to attend services for my close
friend and business partner Joe, who took his life on Feb 15. Joe visited our
home in GA many times, and Riley and Joe spent hours in our music room, singing
and playing on our baby grand piano. Joe's loss touched Riley's heart and
writing a song was a way for her to let out some of her emotions. I did not get
to hear it until after I returned from Joe's services. Riley believes that all
the wonderful things that have happened to her cannot be just some random set of
events that just happened to line up. She makes reference on her Facebook page
to the idea that she is getting help from some friends and family who are
helping line some things up for her. She has named her publishing company Angels
on My Shoulder to reflect this thought. Click here to
