In this blog we had the chance to sit down with a randomly selected class member to do an interview with them. The person I interviewed was Jose Blanco, aka Joe White, okay okay, aka Joseph Aaron White. Sitting down with Mr. White was quite interesting and funny. Joe moved to Alden school district in 2005 when we were still little guys. Joe is part of a band named “Larrabe” he says his job is to “look dumb”, but we all know he is the lead singer, and plays the chords. Joe hopes one day that he will make it big in whatever he plans to do.

I asked Mr. Joseph Aaron White, how he got the name “Joseph Aaron White” just joking around, but he actually had a very interesting reason why his parents had named him, what they named him. Joseph Aaron White was named Joseph Aaron White because of a family friend. His dad grew up with the Bruskee’s. Joseph Bruskee which was like Joe’s dads second father, was in the Navy and sailed on a ship named the Aaron Ward. This is why how he got the name Joseph Aaron White.

With Joseph Aaron Whites talents as a musician, you would think he was born with a guitar and a microphone in his hand… but this is not the case… In the 6th grade, Joes dad had bought him a guitar, and he practiced on that any time he could. He soon started playing with random people, watching live concerts on DVD, and his dad would always play the Beatles. Joe said he liked the sound of the guitar and the way people could sing. Joe stated “I liked the sound, and wanted the fame” while asking him what inspired him.

On Fridays and Saturdays, Joe usually has band practice or a show. On weekends Joe says you can find him down town, on Allen St. Elmwood, and on Chippewa. Joe calls his Sundays “Consumption Days” he says that he likes to relax and eat a lot of food on Sundays.

Jose Blanco loves to travel, he says he drives an estimated 500 miles a week, from going to school, East Aurora, the city of buffalo, and Akron. Joe also stated that he looks forward to road trips and touring, but he does not like driving when its late, but he loves to fly at all times of the day.

Finding out that Jose Blanco likes to travel, I asked him where his favorite place he has traveled to, and why. After Joe was asked this question, he sighed and yelled, “THAT’S TOUGH, but it would have to be Louisiana because I am there all the time. It’s a nice place to relax and write music, I also like crawfish boils.”
