Denny Klisuric
Nickname: "Geauga Dawg"
Born: June 28th, 1965 - Parma, Ohio
Currently, a Programmer/Analyst for Progressive Insurance.

Started playing guitar in late 1981. Similar to Ray, jammed with a lot of guitarists but could never get a band together. Again, similar to Ray, pretty much put the guitar away the first few years of my marriage.

By "sheer" coincidence, was made aware of Ed & Ray via a conversation with Ed's wife at her beauty shop and "apparently" passed the audition in the Porkchops in July of 2001. This version of the "Porkchops" lasted for about 9 months. During the last few months of their existance we recruited Joe Piete, formed "Saturday Nite Mojo," and terminated the "Porkchops" shortly thereafter.


Joe Piete
Nickname - "JP"
Born: Aug 3rd,1950 - Cleveland,Ohio
Life long Muscian, Song Writer

After playing various instruments, I found and stayed with the Guitar at age 14. I formed my first band, the Shantones, in 1964. Formed new band 1966 and discovered then 13 year old Drummer, Ed Durma. I left the band in 1972, duty calls, life went on... and one day I walked into a bar, late 2001, and guess who the Drummer was, Ed Durma, playing in the Porkchop Band.

Shortly thereafter, we jammed, we liked what we heard and I replaced their Guitarist. " The Porkchops " were done. We regrouped and named ourselves " Saturday Nite Mojo ".
