Joe Giattina Orchestra.

Joe Giattina’s love for music lasted from his days as first violinist with the Ensley High School orchestra through his days as leader of the popular Bama Cardinals Big Band, and continued even after he gave up the band December 31, 1992. Joe, who formed his first band in the 1930’s, hoped to make his living as a bandleader, but found that music would not support his family, so he took a position with Brown Service Insurance Company, later called Liberty National Insurance Company. He eventually became vice president of the company from which he retired in 1974.
