Hi folks,  welcome to story time with Gene!  I was born on February 5th,  destined for a life as a sleazy barfly.
Cast out on the streets at the age of five I resorted to playing piano at various beer joints in North Jersey
Taken in by a kind family at the age of thirteen I was taught morality and a sense of normalcy.
Obviously I could never be normal, as you can see here,  trying to emulate Rick Nielson of the band Cheap Trick.  This was my first bass.  I delivered newspapers for a year to purchase this instrument ...  
 

 

 

which I still have today.

As you can see, this experiment failed miserably.

Thinking that my environment was twisting my mind, my parents moved the family to West Virginia for that small town upbringing.
