  1. My brother and I are nephews of Joe Shifalo. Growing up, we loved listening to his rich, winding stories on fishing trips in Cedar Key, FL. Oh and the stories got stranger as we got older ;). Would it be possible to receive digital copies of his recordings on your website and any others that you may have access to? We would be grateful!
