John Vinci aka ,John Dillion
My mother said I sang before I talked. I always loved music.
When I was a young teenager I sang with numerous Doo Wop groups and in my late
teens and early 20's I had success with a group called "Illusion". We recorded 3 albums on
Paramount's "Steed " records and played with some of the great bands
of the time like Hendrix, The Who, The Vanilla Fudge, Allman brothers ,
Mitch Ryder, Rascals, Chicago, Fleetwood Mac, Alice Cooper,
Little Richard, BB King, Leon Russell, Mama Cass ,Hall and Oates and so many
more.
Here are some
posters from the " Good
old Days "..
In my early 30's I was in a group called
"Network" on Epic records. We were managed by the famous Tommy
Mottola and did a world tour with Hall and Oates. You can
check out some additional information on the Illusions official website. http://distortedrock.tripod.com/
Here is our album cover on
Epic records.
I started selling musical equipment in the early 80's and worked for such
guitar companies as Dean, B.C Rich, Guild and others.
Dillion guitars was founded in 1996. Dealers and consumers instantly started
calling me John Dillion because I answered the phone and emails John "Dillion"
