He also performed his song Lost without you, which is his 1^st original number. He says it’s a curious song, it came about when sitting on his terrace, low in moods and wanted the company of his wife, to get some energy of her, but he didn’t know she had a flight, she ran up to the terrace in her uniform, “I’m going to New York…” she said. That’s when he crawled into his piano room, began to tingle with the keys, he put on a groove that was slightly pacey the mood was manifested with chords that suddenly started appearing, words that he was feeling at that moment.

Joe serenaded the crowd with jazz and rock music for over 2 hours with Floyd on Guitar, Andrew Kanga on the Drums and Karan Joseph on the Piano on the 25^th of January at Bandra Base, a Whistling Woods International Initiative.

The reaction of the audience was priceless as they left the gig. They were truly mesmerised.
