THERE'S A BUSTLE IN MY HEDGEROW...

About Me

JADED LITTLE GIRL WITH A SONG AND A GUITAR........ SHE'S NOBODY'S VICTIM, YET SHE IS ADORNED WITH SCARS....................................................... ...............Gina plays guitar. Gina writes songs. Gina sings the songs she writes. ..................... .......... ...............'Those who were dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music...' - Friedrich Nietzsche ...... ....... ............. ......... .......... ......... ......... ............. .......... ........ ............... ................... I don't always dance, but I ALWAYS hear the music... I don't necessarily know who I am, but I'm reasonably sure who I'm NOT... I like my scars... I don't like to hurt people, but sometimes it happens... I generally think I am superior to most humans, but I seem to be wrong a lot... I frequently burst into laughter for no apparent reason.... I make my best pool shots when no one is looking.... I have NO IDEA where the middle is.... Sometimes I take myself way too seriously... I don't know what I want to be when I grow up... I don't know if I want to grow up... I don't have a plan... I like to play my guitar ... I like to sing ... I like to draw naked girls... I care a lot... I am more than a little neurotic... I make my friends laugh...(AT me or WITH me, I'm not sure...(?) ...shrug)... I know that I HAVE the keys, I just can't seem to remember where I LEFT them.... blah, blah, blah....

Sounds Like: "I've watched a drinking crowd fall silent and go soft......Gina Paiano was a new one for me... She has a voice that makes me think of black coffee and chocolate silk pie at an all-night diner - rich and smooth with just the right amount of bite. She made a divorce song sound sweet. And the crowd kept quiet as she played - folks didn't do that for all of the performers, only the most captivating..."............................................. ............................................................ ........... -Tyler Gray, Sentinel Columnist.
