A little behind on posts. Michael, yes, storm to sunup is classic. I had not realized just how much i had missed it all these years it had been away. Gino has the ability to take one deep into a netherworld of emotion, running the gamut from ecstacy to heartache, self-analysis to self-realization. He is not mentioned when the discussion of great songwriters are pronounced but cannot fathom how he can be overlooked; as that or a singer, perfomer, etc. Had to work 66 hours last week and exhausted but when arrived home decided to listen to him for hours. Michael, we could cloister, get appropriately in that state of mind, and drive deep into the Gino experience, for only those who have felt him can understand. "where am I going?" damn, what a tune. Used to listen to the lines asking that question about when I am 35 and wonder myself. Now, at 45, i realize all the time has passed me by but still strong and legs aren't too weak yet. I posted a couple of weeks ago that I did not like jazz and Fred took me to task for it, as he should have and that is the beauty of this list for it teaches me something each day i go to it, but I meant traditional jazz for Gino does delve into jazz often and does it beautifully. Now, michael, when i hear gino mention New Orleans, i will forever think of you. For those who haven't tried Gino, do, it will be worth your time.
