Happy Birthday Ginoooooooooo !!!
We already received the first Happy Birthday wish to Gino Vannelli on 7 February 2005 : So here we go with the first and let's hope not the last birthday wish to and for Gino Vannelli......
* 1 *However... I admit I was looking for a wonderful, quickie 50th birthday trip for myself: a lonely, lovely, petite flower about to join your ranks (as a semi-centennarian, that is). Any suggestions? Montreal, perhaps? -Tricia- P.S. I'm in the "other Vancouver". Date : 7 February 2005. * 2 *Is there any way to reach him for a concert in our area? In the Falls - a brand new beautiful area our Walkway, Friday Nite at the Falls and the Wintergarden Family Center. Last year we worked at Artpark and he came there.
We (Niagara Falls) are also hosting an award given to a soldier who saved
his unit, was wounded, is out of the hospital and going BACK to Iraq. He
will be honored before he goes back and I thought there is NO ONE like Gino
for his concert.
It will be for servicemen.
Also, another decorated hero will be there, who was featured on the cover of
Time Magazine. * 3 *Birthday greetings from the Heartland of the USA.... Kansas City! Your voice just gets better and better, like fine wine... keep giving us that music that is from the heart... and please, a concert tour anywhere on the North American continent would be wonderful... we'll be there! Gail and Steve. Date 26 February 2005.   * 4 * A word from the editor :
The 4th e-mail comes all the way from Georgië, former Russia, we do not know how to write Georgië in English so we do it the Dutch way..... It's not a long e-mail but it is an e-mail and that counts, wishes to Gino are always worth while to print especially all the way from Eastern Europe. The e-mail has a pink background with a blurry picture of a guitar player, we will try to make this background overhere....
E-mail from : Giorgi Maisuradze. Date : Tuesday 15 maart 2005 23:39. Subject : tbilisi giorgi Happy Birtday Gino * 5 *
Joyeux anniversaire Gino * 6 *
I am planning to see you at the Syracuse Jazz Festival with my seventeen year old daughter, hopefully we will be able to. God bless you and keep you healthy and genuine!
* 7 *
I think we are getting the birthday gift from Gino this summer.... the opportunity to head to Montreal to hear Gino on stage at Shawinigan and LaSalle.... thank you Gino for giving us such a treat to all of your loyal fans! Happy birthday from your fans in Kansas City.... and may you have many many more! * 8 *I first saw you in concert in Ft. Worth, Texas in 1979 and was hooked from then on. I just wish you would come to Dallas more often because Dallas has many Gino fans. Also, why not hook up with Starbucks and put your CDs in their coffee shops? They've got everybody but you! Please keep bringing us great music--the best memories of my life have been listening to you. Many more years of success and health! Kara Meier, 18 May 2005. * 9 *21 May 2005. * 10 *
May all your good dreams come true and may You Gino, Tricia and Anton have very good healths for a long, long time so you can be together, fight with eachother and love eachother wholeheartedly for a very long period in this lifetime... There are no greater treasures than Unconditional love
and good health, two of the most important harmonies which we need to deal with whatever life brings...
You are always good to people who are good but you are also good to people who aren't good, this is true goodness !!! Your BIG heart where evil cannot enter shines into your music and makes this world a better place !!! Your music and your voice bring many people in a happy mood or in the mood they need at that moment. Total and complete musical satisfaction which makes us thankful and grateful to you and for the albums you created for us all !!! * 11 *Wil & Rob Spelbos. 21 May 2005. * 12 *Another great year of you... What an honor... Have a very happy day and will see you soon... God Bless you and your family ... You are an angel... 
Love. Judy Buffalo, N. Y.  * 13 *I would like to wish you and your beloved Pat and Anton a very happy anniversary and a beautiful day. Last but not least I wish you happiness and a good health for (at least) the next 53 years to come.
See you in July in Paradiso, Amsterdam. Really looking forward to meet you again (and hopefully I will not have difficulties with the digital camera like I did on January 30 2004... this expression of regret is ment for my friend Clem van Lunteren, who has forgiven me after screwing up the picture with you, Gino, him and me). * 14 *Happy Birthday!!
You have the most passionate voice that I have ever heard.
Unfortunately, she chose not to stay with me, and that was over 12 years ago. This past October we reconnected and discovered that we had never stopped loving each other, that we were destined to be together. Those thoughts about a love once lost, and then found, are captured in your song “Una Sola Voce” on your Canto CD. This December 17th we are going to be engaged – that date is the 17th anniversary of the date that we first met. Your song will be our wedding song. * 15 *L'ITALIA TI AMA. GIOVANNI SPINELLI, NAPOLI * 16 *God bless you! Love Carmen & Gigi. 26 May 2005. * 17 *I’ve been in a bit of a rut lately with work, family, kids, bills, life in general. While sitting here at my computer today, I decided to Google your name just to see what came up. To my delight, I found out that you are touring this summer! Reading the reviews of your concert in Detroit has totally brightened my mood. I’m thinking of going out tomorrow to buy a couple of your CDs. (I have a lot albums and cassettes, so it’s probably time I invest in a CD or two). You see, listening to your music has always made me feel happy and content. How could I have gotten away from that? I can’t tell you how charged up I am now compared to how I was feeling a few hours ago. So………….
Please have a very happy birthday knowing that your music has touched me and so many other people in the world. * 18 *
I remember growing up to his music as his cousin Dr. Mark Trifiro lived only
a few houses from mine so this was my introduction to the most talented man
who ever lived. No one will compare to Gino. My best to Joe and Ross as
well. * 19 *

I am more in love with your voice than ever and really look forward to hearing your new works, no matter what language they are in. I have learned a lot from you and appreciate the finer things in a piece of music. I wish you happiness on your birthday and everyday. Enjoy yourself and always remember you have many fans who support you, no matter what you do. Can't wait to see you in Syracuse and possibly in Quebec! Fondly, Patti Battista, 4th of June 2005. * 32 *I have listened to your remarkable voice since your very first album . I have your entire collection of music. I really love the Slow Love CD (best gino adult contemporary pop work). CANTO, what can I say, absolutely your best in every way (vocals, arrangements, composed music), Bravo! I must say our world must truly be at an end, not to recognize Gino Vannelli as the ultimate vocalist in the world, very few are even in your league. Your music should have a much greater following! Please keep making your music for those of us who have been your admirers from day one and continue to be for evermore! We love you Gino! I am in the process of replacing all of your albums with CDs. I also purchase the Canto CD and give them out from time to time to people who are not familiar with you! I do what I can to keep your music alive! God bless you and yours! Happy Birthday Gino (Gist of the Gemini). * 33 *From: Judy (yes, you remember my name! :} )
Happy Birthday, short and sweet, from the one who shows up a lot and says little... My best to you and yours! ps. Seems by these pages that there are a lot of **Judy's** around the world that dig your music!!! Dated 4 June 2005. * 34 *Pierre, 4th of June 2005. * 35 *Fan from Spain, P. Montero, 6 June 2005. * 36 *It takes a few more days. Weeks. Than we are going to see each other again in Amsterdam. But in a short while, you're a little older. (So am I. The 12the of june. Both Gemeni) What ever! I like to say; the best for you and your family. This is an age that will keep you going stronger and stronger. Let's hear it in the music. To begin the 7the of july. Congratulations!!! Clem van Lunteren, 6-6-2005. * 37 *I wish you would tour in Western Canada. Good luck with your new album. Charles, 7th of June 2005. * 38 *

I wish you a very happy birthday I hope the day will be the best off all your birthday's. * 47 *Who would have known 53 years ago, a baby boy born into our world, would be endowed with talents that surpass most others and please so many people? I'm so thankful to be living at the same time as Gino and know his music, lyrics and voice. To have all of his cd's, seen him perform four times throughout his career and spoken with him twice is most satisfying. I'm positive that millions of others feel the same and are thanking God, especially this day, 6/16, for giving you, a wonderful treasure, to us. We hope your day is filled with what you want to do and God will give you health, peace and unveil many more creative paths for you to fulfill your thoughts, feelings and love through music. We can hardly wait for your next accomplishments. But mostly we want you to be happy with God, yourself, your family and friends cause when you're there, the best in you will come through. We trust that this coming year will be your best so far and there will be at least 53 more to come!
Gino, If you and your family are ever in this part of the world, we'd
love to see you and show you around. The same goes for you Barend and
Trees. Thanks for all you do it's priceless to us Gino fans. I realize

you someday! Happy Birthday Gino! * 48 * HAPPY BIRTHDAY GINO !!!!!!!!!!From the heart of TOP60team!!! thank you for this WONDERFUL!!! version of "She"

Lynn Del Margio, Stafford, Virginia, USA, 16th of June 2005. * 50 *Happiest birthday wishes from me and from my daughter Alicia. Upon hearing that today was your birthday, she sang a chorus of " Happy Birthday to you,.." the way only a 3-year old can, and I couldn't resist joining in with her. We wish you happiness, good health and much success in the coming year, and of course, our fondest wish is that you would come to Baltimore and perform Canto at the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall so that we could hear you live. * 51 *

It's still a kick to check out this website. I hope you had a wonderful and peaceful birthday last week. My warmest and fondest regards, Jeri, 22 June 2005. * 62 *hopre you can come to my par t of the woods Pine Louisiana. You still look fine at 53yrs young,and many more B-Days to come . Your fan forever. Celeste 23 June 2005. * 63 *I checked by phone to see what happened to that birthday email that I've sent to you, but you probably never got it. Girl at our ISP said that they had some problems to deliver emails to the West and the North, and that lots of users complained about it. I asked her what can I do now about it, and she said - "You probably have this letter in your 'sent' folder so it could be so easy to copy/paste it and to send it again. I said "Thank you so much for your clever advice, but could you please be so kind to turn time back to the end of May because it could be very rude to send birthday greeting wishes few weeks after birthday date". She started to laugh, probably she thought that I am another time-waster on the phone line. OF course, I was deadly serious so she then started to apologize. I said that it was not big mistake if they omitted to send some emails, but they should send info about it to all users that sent emails in this period. This way I could send that email greeting right on time. Now it's really to late.... (though, maybe it is not too late to send greeting for the next Gino's birthday?). Now I really must go... I hope that you are both well... Is everything OK there? Your friend, Dejan in Serbia - Montenegro 24 June 2005. * 64 *
Sorry for being late, but I want to give my best wishes of a very happy
birthday
