| NEW Q&A with Gino!!! (answers were changed a bit to fit the page) |
| Did You Always Want to be in Music? |
| My Dad was a choral music teacher so singing and music have always been a part of my life as far as I can remember. Dad used to have me sing for the family when they came over. |
| If no, What did you want to do? |
| I had several significant career yearings as a lad. I wanted to be a chimpanzee but unfortunatley, while coducting some research I fell out of a Elm tree and decided "perhaps being a chimpanzee is not for me after all" I dreamed of being a real cowboy. Then the "acting bug" bit me. After considering such careers as: pro baseball player, back- up drummer for the "partridge family", the guy who hands out pizza samples at the grocery store....something very stranged happened to me I was practicing some songs for my piano lessons one day at school and when I looked up there was a crowd of girls from my class gathered around watching me play, AND I became a much more motivated piano student in the years that followed |
| What is your current favorite country album? |
| Gary Allan "Smoke Rings in the Dark" He's got a really cool and unique sound (Good choice, Gino!!! I agree) |
| Country song? |
| Darryl Worley's "Second Wind" off HARD RAIN DON'T LAST |
| Which NEW artist do you think is gonna make it big? (besides you...) |
| If Brad Paisley is still considered new, then I'd say he's the future of PURE country music. The most promising singer/songwrite to hit Nashville in years. I think keith urban and Darrly Worley both have some potential. Not for superstar status. I hope Mark McGuinn goes away real soon...... ( :( too bad, I LOVE him!!!) |
| Where is one place in the world you would like to go that you never been? |
| The podium at the CMA's would be really cool. I'd like to take my dad to Italy someday. |
| Where can people write for autograph requests and whatnot? |
| Who is your ideal tour-mate? |
| I'd have to say Chely Wright. I'd have to go on first though, she'd be a tough act to follow....on second thought, maybe Cledus "T" Judd would be a better choice after and audience sits through his goofy antics, I'd probably come off looking like Garth Brooks! |
