• Crazy Joe

  I love getting to know people, and I have a new cyberfriend. Crazy Joe Tritschler, the Pride of Dayton, Ohio, and his band, the Mad River Outlaws, are burning up the rockabilly airwaves. I met Joe in Memphis, and had no idea he was crazy. He appeared onstage with Sonny Burgess and with the incredible Herb Remington, one of the giants of the steel guitar.Wearing a short-sleeve white shirt and tie, he looked like an engineering student who plays mean guitar, which he is. Then his new EP was profiiled in Blue Suede News, and I recognized him. One thing led to another and now we are e-mail buddies. I am enough of a kid to get a tremendous kick out of making this contact. So; Now: his website is www.maderiveroutlaws.com, the myspace page is www.myspace.com/madriveroutlaws, ( listen to ”Mary Ann;” that’s him singing and playing lead guitar) and you can get his albums on www.atomrecords.com,  or amazon.com.. That guitar in the photos was made especially for him. It’s the Crazy Joe Triphonic Guitar; one of a kind. So is Joe!
