Birthday wishes to Gino. I just found this site, and I'm very happy that Gino is so busy doing what he does best. I've been a silent fan ever since I heard Gist of the Gemini back in 1978 while majoring in piano at Indiana University. I said, " Who is this guy, he's incredible!" I immediately bought everything he ever did.I'm a semi-retired keyboard player now working in medicine.(Sonography)I played Sorm at Sunup a few weeks ago and my 4 and 6 year old loved it, even my 1 year old was groovin.We'll continue to follow Gino's career and I hope oneday to see him in concert, and shake his hand. Happy Birthday Gino, keep the music coming.

My sincerest wishes for a happy birthday are sent to you. As a singer songwriter and eternal fan of yours ever since hearing the "Crazy Life" album, I must convey my feelings for the man who has been not A MAJOR influence but THE MAJOR INFLUENCE in NOT ONLY MY MUSIC BUT MY LIFE. It is with the deepest respect and admiration when I tell you that GINO, "YOU ARE MUSIC"! Gino, I can only hope to know a part of you by the words you write that so accurately help me know more about myself. You and your music have touched a part of me that stirs the deepest emotions and conjures up visions of love and sensitivity that ONLY YOU CAN DO! I hope that one day I will have the opportunity to meet you so that I will have not only your music, but the memory of a dream fulfilled. God Bless You and Your Family,

Where do I begin? Gino, my life changed when the needle hit the vinyl of Powerful People. I was just beginning to play drums then.......these days I dabble in bass and do a little composing as well. It seems like when I am at my best musically, I am thinking, "OK, where would those Vannellis go with this?" Your music is beautiful, brilliant, and always uncompromising. Your name is synonymous with talent and class. But the single word I have alway used is "POWER." I've also always appreciated how you bare your heart lyrically........I remember thinking "Wow, something/someone has really hurt him" when I first read through Inconsolable Man. And it hurt thinking of you sad. Thanks for all the moods you have put me through!

Happy Birthday Gino. Keep writing and recording and touring. It gives the rest of us something to aspire to.

There are 2 musicians whose work can move me to tears:
Wolfgang Mozart and Gino Vannelli.

There are no earthly words to express what your music has meant to me throughout the years. I met you in Charleston, West Virginia during the Brother To Brother tour. Pasquale Pace invited me to have coffee with you, Ross, Joe, and others after your show. You were very geniune, friendly, and a real pleasure to meet. That will be a memory I will always treasure. I, too, was blessed with the gift of music, with a musician's heart and soul. So, from one heart and soul to another, Happy Birthday, Gino and thank you.
Kindest Regards, Margaret.

Happy Birthday. I have all your albums and duplications that are avilable on CD, saw you in California (Berkley, San Jose and Los Angeles) in concert during the 1970's. A newscaster for the BBC in Regina, Sask., Canada introduced me to your music with your first release "Crazy Life" and I've been an avid fan ever since. Your words, voice and arrangements strike a human cord that tugs your very soul. God bless you, Gino.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! There is no way on the face of God's green earth that I could begin to tell you what your music has meant to me since I first saw you in a television commercial in 1978 (it was for a concert you were supposed to stage in Atlanta Georgia)!! Let it suffice to say that since that fateful year (unbeknownst to you of course) you have become a symbol in my dreams of all that is right with the world as far as the creative soul is concerned. You are hereby commanded (by me of course) not to die or retire until I have lived long enough to see you in concert somewhere in the Southeastern United States of America :o)!!!

Dear Gino:
I can´t find enough and exact words to give you my gratitude for all those years full of wonderful moments of music and lyrics. I´m 34, but I grew listening to the musicians of your generation and style since I was 12. I remember my teen "shock" when I listened to your sensual voice for the first time singing I just wanna stop; later, I started a hard way to know your origins with my poor pocket, but another rite songs arrived: Where am I going?, The surest things can change, Black and Blue... Your real merit is to have got that those songs are diary in my lips and in my mind. When you wrote some words dedicated to your son Anton in Live in Montreal and you wondered what echoes had these songs twenty years later to be written, I thought: "Gino, you can be sure that you´ll never walk alone". Really, your songs are save forever in our colective heart. Thank you for that unforgetable concert at Barcelona in November 1995 with the Yonder Tree World Tour, and for your true words for me that night in the cold street.

Gino, Happy Birthday: I Just Wanna Stop for your voice. You don´t know how much I love you. Kisses to Patricia, Anton, Joe, Ross and, of course, to Mark Craney. God bless you all.

Dear Barend Trees:
I think your web site is terrific. Your web site is truly an informative venue for all things Gino. Congratulations on a great site! Through your site's information I purchased Neils Doky's latest CD produced by Gino. It is a brilliant work of music!

My birthday wish to Gino:
Happy Birthday Gino!
I wish you all the best on your special day!
Your music and lyrics have brought me immeasurable joy and happiness, and for that I thank you.
In 1976 I worked in the Stereo Department of Eaton's (Queen St., Toronto) and often played your music in demonstrating the equipment of Marantz, Technics, Advent, and Bose to name a few. I believe that I made many sales due to your recordings and that you gained many new fans.

Last year, I was fortunate enough to see your excilerating performances in Atlantic City, NJ and in Montreal. Both shows were remarkable! Your Montreal show was obviously special to you. For those of us in the audience, in was a truly a golden perfomance that will stay with many of us for a long time.
Again, Happy Birthday Gino!!
Thank you, Gordon, Toronto

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY to Gino Vannelli from a fellow Gemini!!!
I have been a fan forever. My kids grew up singing "Gino Vannelli" songs on the playground at school....his music is such a part of my life. I'm sad, however, that I may never be able to see & hear him in concert! But I will keep hoping.......and I will keep listening to his beautiful music.

I JUST FOUND THE SITE AND WANT TO WISH YOU A LATE BUT VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
ALSO I WANT TO THANK YOU BECAUSE YOUR MUSIC AND LYRICS HAVE BEEN AN INSPIRATION TO ME AND MY WIFE FOR MANY YEARS
AFTER ALMOST 20 YEARS OF LISTENING TO YOU WE FINALLY SAW YOU IN MIAMI. IT WAS THE BEST CONCERT WE HAVE EVER SEEN.

LAST YEAR WAS NOT EXACTLY A GREAT ONE FOR ME I SPENT MOST OF THE YEAR BATTLING CANCER AND SPENT MANY DIFFICULT NIGHTS ON THE HOSPITAL, BUT YOUR MUSIC WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MADE ME KEEP GOING.
IN MY MINE WAS THE SONG FROM STORM AT SUNUP (KEEP ON WALKING) EVERYTIME I WAS DOWN AND OUT THIS SONG WILL COME TO MY HEAD AND GAVE ME HOPE. LIKE THE SONG SAYS I GOT TO KEEP WALKING TO SOMEONE I LOVE, MY FAITH AND YOUR REALITY KEEPS ME HANGING ON.
THANK AGAIN FOR THE COMFORT YOU HAVE GAVE US

Dragør, Denmark, d. 10.9.01
Dear Gino.
DEAR GINO. HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Brother to brother.
Tusinde tak for din helt igennem himmelske musik og tekst gennem 30 år. Undertegnede stiftede første gang bekendtskab med dig en oktober aften kl. 23.55, 1971 i Danmarks Radio. Med radioværten Bent Schærf, gammel jazzmusiker, nu afdød. Han spillede "people got a move" og siden har jeg fulgt dig og har alle dine indspilninger, samt været til dine koncerter i Saga København, Amager Bio og ikke mindst 5-øren på Amager, hvor jeg sidst var på min 59-årige fødselsdag 7/7-2001. Her fik jeg en gave fra min himmelske fader. Tusinde tak. Jeg er selv aktiv billedkunstner og har altid malet efter musik, men din musik har så afgjort været den foretrukne og der er lavet mange billeder til din musik, som alle har vakt begejstring og glæde af køberne. Fantastisk. Jeg har været deprimeret og kun din musik har været medicinen og på den måde hjulpet mig igennem min krise. Jeg kunne blive ved med at rose dig og bruge flotte og nedslidte ord, men du skal have en stor hilsen fra en halvgammel Dragør-dreng, der sætter stor verdenskunst øverst på skammelen. Til sidst håber jeg at du snart igen kommer til Danmark og giver koncert. Jeg vil være der. Mange broderlige og kærlige hilsener fra en "bums i paradiset".
Ove Ancher Pedersen, Dragør, Denmark.
