I really wish folks would stop calling this guy "Gino", as it's one of the biggest farces/mistakes in Celtics lore history.
 
The guy in the video is a California restaurant owner by the name of Joe Massoni, who died of pneumonia in 1990.
 
In the video, (which was taken from a showing of Dick Clark's American Bandstand), he is dancing to a disco song and wearing a concert t-shirt of his favorite musician, (and my biggest musical influence/mentor), Gino Vannelli, who is still very much alive and well, and producing amazing music, (as he has been since the early seventies), most recently with the Metropole Orchestra in the Netherlands, and the Doky Brothers in Denmark, (he has a house in Denmark and in Portland, Oregon).
 
I know the t-shirt well because I have one, and went to the concert at the Orpheum Theater in Boston in 1976 that it's promoting, (part of Gino Vannelli's 1976 tour, and one of only three times he has performed in Boston - twice at the Paradise).
 
So, in summation: The guy's name is NOT Gino, it's Joe Massoni, and it's called the "Gino Video" because he happened to be wearing a Gino Vannelli concert t-shirt at the time, though Joe passed away in 1990.
 
To give true and deserved tribute to the guy dancing, (who this whole thing is about), it should be called the "Joe Massoni Video", otherwise it's doing a disservice to him and Gino Vannelli, one of the greatest musical minds of the last fifty years, (ask most anyone in the recording industry).
 
RIP, Joe Massoni, and thank you for the smiles and joy you have brought to Celtic Nation.

(No, I will never sell the t-shirt ;)).

Agreed. I really don't care about the actual guy. I also don't care about the artist. All I care about is the tradition. It should be obvious that the guy wouldn't be wearing a shirt of himself. So what?

I love that still after all these years that KG still lights up like a kid at Christmas when GINO pops up on the jumbo screen.

Yeah, you're right ... I should just be thankful he wasn't wearing a Captain & Tennille t-shirt.
