Packing The Blues
He reaches for the same old traveling bags, worn from different
here to theres, and lots of hats as witnesses. Many changes of
costume but the same old flesh suit, the place where personal
history is stored, that whirling illusion, called human. Down
to the next to last chapter, in a little pamphlet called Paris.
Hey Contrabass, let's pick some dates. Are, we stepping out tonight!!
He was sad to come here, cause of memories left behind, and just
as sad to go back, and leave all those new memories in front...
It's all the Jazz he
had to choose, and all he's packing is the Blues...
More flavor cooking for the Fine Wine Trio's stews...

Your Body and the Fine Wine Trio
While attending Marietta College in Marietta, Ohio many years
ago, for a liberal arts education, it wasn't long before I found
myself across the Muskingum River studying blues in Parkerburg,
West Virginia. My classroom was a saloon dance hall where working
people came after a seriously hard day's work and trouble, to
drink and dance it all away. The music needed to get all down
in your body and then to your bones until your very soul was shaking
til that girl was taken. If the beat wasn't right, somebody might
even get poped, so necessary was this rhythm release from people's
day-to-day scuffle to keep up the payments on their life.
The Fine Wine Trio has returned this tradition to your body,
with the jazz and blues you need, to keep bones and souls swinging
and foot taping again
amid times of war, riots and rising costs to make, making the
payments on your life, incidental.

(sent to a French promoter)
I once had a rather fleeting fling with the lady who worked the
door for 24 years at one of the most legendary and oldest Jazz
Clubs in New York, name withheld...
She was there for all the greats: Monk, Bill, Miles, Trane, Sonny,
Betty, Elvin, etc. You name it, and she heard it. Therefore, after
work, I could never play any music because she said her ears were
full and "No more music, please." My challenge was:
could I get one minute of her ear to hear something new? One night
I managed to get 32 bars of "That Old Feeling" by The
Fine Wine Trio next to her ear. She was so excited that I sent
it to the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Vocal Competition,
and in a few months was singing for Joe Williams, etc. and placed
in the top ten finalists. Gene Perla now is asking if you will
give the Fine Wine Trio 32 bars. One never knows, does one?

Paris Marketing & The Fine Wine Trio
Nothing compares with the images of romance that Paris, France
has marketed so well. And yes, it works, because Paris is love.
Parisians love their bicycles. They love their scarfs. They
love their endless boulangeries and munching on baguettes protruding
from little bags as they scurry down history-soaked, soulful old
streets. They love talking up close, seated at their open air
cafes, and they love to gesture toward each other in sexy French
sounds. Now add a nice glass of "Fine Wine Trio" to
the scene. Oh Là Là!!!! You get the idea!!!
Gene, Bobby, Gabriel: 'The Fine Wine Trio.' That's what we do,
make love better!
