Steve Conte is a jumbo slice of Rock 'n Roll Heaven. We got treated to his latest single, Recovery Doll, a recent Coolest Song in the World on Little Steven's Underground Garage, the B side, Rock And Rye Queen, and, Gimme Rockaway, which was not only another Coolest Song in the World, it also placed in the top 5 for Coolest Song of the Year, on the heels of Ian Hunter, and The Monkees. He's in my top rock voices of all time.

Steve was chicken soup for the crazies soul, one of us, he shared how the Conte's have been faring these past 16 months- with creativity, caution, and grace, it appears.

We heard stories, his classic Chuck Berry, Tiny Tim, thanks, Postell, Paul Simon, Prince, David Clayton Thomas, Michael Monroe, David Johansen... starting out on drums, thanks to Ringo, with his brother John, on guitar, swapping to that, taking front and center, John on bass, backing their jazz singer mother, Rosemary... his first road gig, in Blood, Sweat & Tears, his own, Company of Wolves, Willy DeVille, The New York Dolls, to present tense with his upcoming videos, singles, and album, on Little Steven's Wicked Cool Records.

Always a treat to be in the company of this talented friend with lots of shared history. Such great fun!
