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.

Story behind the song
Great harmonies on this one by Scott Lamaestra, plus some good guitar work by Dave Kondas, and one hell of a good tenor sax solo by Chris Macintosh.
Lyrics
Music & Lyrics by Tom Orecchio) Going back to a time When I held your hand, love felt so fine Never seemed this far away I know I never showed you much But now I miss your smile, I miss your touch How I wish you were loving me today But I’ll always hold you close to my heart And these memories will never fade away I’ll always hold you close to my heart And I will love you for the rest of my days
