Gene has the ability to grab the reins of his world and make it turn the way he wants it to go. He shows no fear in the face of new challenges. Exuding self-confidence and charismatic charm, he conquers challenges with an apparent effortless grace.

 

Even his talent seems to know no limits. The unique combination of his beautiful, soulful piano with his sad, stirring voice and heart felt lyrics often make me cry. The combination of his jovial piano, vibrant, harmonic voice, and clever lyrics can make me laugh.

Gene has always been the very definition of "cool" in my book. I would certainly say that everything's cool!

When Geno was about eight years he mastered the "Charlie Brown theme" on the piano. That's when I first thought to myself, this kid can play this old piano pretty good for his age and without lessons.

Geno's, uncle Jim took notice of his playing early on, my brother always made his living as "Jim LeSage On Stage" playing keys and singing as a one man band. Geno would instantly pick up anything his uncle would show him on the key board. I remember my brother always telling me this kid's great!.

The first time I ever was impressed by my son was when I heard him perform a Neil Diamond tune "Love On the Rocks." I remember him being so young yet sounding, so mature.

The Rest of The Story

We alway's have fun when Gene is home for the holidays. I can never picture my cousin singing with a cowboy hat on. I think he's to cool for that.

I don't listen to country music that much but I never get tired of the music Gene sings and writes. I think they should play his music on the stations my friends and I listen too because all my friends like all the songs and want a copy of his new CD.

I'll alway's remember when Gene sang "I'll still be loving you " for Cheri's wedding. When ever I get married I want you to sing at my wedding Gene.

I wish you all the best for you Gene, and I'm glad everybody now can get to hear and like your music the way we all get to.

"Don't stop singing, just keep on singing your going to be a star someday, people are going to come from miles around, just to hear you play."

 

Congratulations Gene!

Your new album is as "cool" as I thought it would be.

I especially like "Nobody Said."

Keep me informed on how I can help.

You can count me in your corner, as your number #1 fan.

Keep up the good work.
