Gene, that was really lovely and inspiring playing. I wish I had the chance to have met you when you used to come to Rochester.

I love Gene,

Not only as a musician but as a human being.

In a highly competitive world, Gene shines with his brilliant musicianship. He keeps his eye on the music, with humility and ability to love.

The Shadow Of Your Smile -on my ipod...beautiful. but WHY! why why why cant i find Waltz For Debby anywhere? :[

[MOGLIDER]

Should have written "Someone to light up my Life".Sorry.

[MOGLIDER]

Gene,may I complement you for your beautiful cds "Body and Soul" & "Someone to Light Up my Fire".

Great music, beautifully recorded and produced.

5 Stars plus for those!

[loungecruz]

Great to see you in Honolulu

Nice playing for sure!!

[Jazzboful]

Gene is the man on nylon. Beautiful sounding Buscarino gut string guitar.

[taagteam]

Saw Gene in Steven's Point, Wi in the early 90's - my guitar teacher turned me on to him - an unsung hero of the nylon string for sure!

[jazzand]

-THE- BEST-

[genebertoncini]

Thank you for the view and nice comment

[AmyVail5]

Such very satisfying listening. My late mother, Esther Vail of WXXI-AM in Rochester, would have loved to see you on Youtube. I know I do!

[genebertoncini]

thanks. I finally made youtube :)

[r1skate]

@genebertoncini I don't remember hearing anything like this at Bates College (Lewiston Maine) ;-) Do you recall that show? All I really recall was this "kid," on bass and your fingers "flying," all over the fretboard. I LOVED IT! Finger picking (Like Joe Pass) jazz. Good times. :D

[peskypesky]

absolutely gorgeous and inspiring...i'm going to try to see you at the Jazz Standard later this month.

[genebertoncini]

Thanks for the view and comment.

[Sundryandall]

BTW, loved your new CD with strings. Have you posted any cuts from that? I'm listening to it right now. Also, any way to get some of your arrangements? Any plans to release them?

[genebertoncini]

Thank you very much.

Gene

[Sundryandall]

The greatest finger style guitarist on the planet. I own every recording you've made including the awesome duets with Bobby Rogers and the work with Paul Winter Consort. Hope you'll decide to publish some of your arrangements in a collection.

[genebertoncini]

wow. awesome comment.

Thanks so much for that.

Gene

[lukex1337]

Thank you Gene for continuing to make the music that makes me smile and cry. I was a friend of Loonis McGlohon's and enjoyed your visit to UNC-Charlotte. I hope you will return again. P.S. Still trying to find "Bridges" on CD.
