Toni Poloni

About Me

They say god built the earth in six days and on the seventh he rested. We arn't sure on which day he created Toni Poloni, no such records exist. He probably didn't consider it one of his more important contributions but it happened none the less. Poloni thinks maybe he snuck out while he was resting. Is the world a better place for it ? You betcha. If Toni Poloni was a tradesman, which funnily enough he is, he would be a jack of all trades. Toni is a solo artist at present, maybe he should try a new deoderant ? He is open to expanding the line-up. He has been writing songs for over fifteen years. The guitar is his first instrument. He also plays piano, bass, organ, harmonica and triangle. Toni has played in a few bands over the years, namely Dude Length Apart and Handsome Rob and the Esoteric Cowpokes. He once used his triangle expertise in the school band too. He also performed at a shindig infront of 400 people with an able acomplice wearing a balaclava. I can assure you it was all above board.

Poloni Log 4 ( Jazz is not dead, it just smells Funny )
