Carl Allocco - Featured Songwriter of Love (Fall 2009 Newsletter)

image of Carl with guitarCarl Allocco first heard about Songs of Love in a newspaper ad back in 1996. He immediately called John Beltzer and jumped on board. To date, he has written more than 2,000 "songs of love" for as many children, and continues to jump at the opportunity to write more every day. Carl's musical career began in the 80's, playing an eclectic rock style reminiscent not only of the Beatles but also of bands gaining popularity at the time. Carl has travelled the world playing his music, and has been fortunate enough to have recorded and played with legends such as The Ramones, Rick Danko (The Band), and many others. In addition to being one of the longest-standing "songwriters of love," Carl helps to maintain our website, and on a daily basis serves as an advisor to the Songs of Love team both on a logical and spiritual level. He is also the creator of the popular iPhone application iRunes, a high-tech oracle from which one seeks advice. iRunes is available on the iTunes app store, and 10% of the proceeds will go towards the Songs of Love Foundation. More information on Carl can be found at his website, www.carlallocco.com.

Carl Allocco is one of more than 100 songwriters of love, and we look forward to featuring all of them in future newsletters.
