You're Italian in Quebec. So you must be in Montreal proper then?

Yeah, I'm 38 (85 baby) People assume I'm older because of the widower thing.

Yup , know all the boys lol

The glory days of the internet, before social media took over.

I miss it so much.

Boof posted here for a while. I remember he claimed to be an ex-pro who fought Mike Tyson.

I'm a former Montrealer. Did you know Gino Vanelli?

Didn’t know him personally but yes
Did you know his cousin the barber, his salon was called Rockys

[MulaKO]

No, but met his cousin Pino in Acapulco where he owner a restaurant.

Doesn’t tell me anything
These guys hung around my brothers
Hoping We’re talking about the same guy , the musician right ?

[MulaKO]

Yup...one of my favourites. Storm at Sunup...super talented family.

Rocky is his cousin and he’s got a salon in the old neighborhood where they all grew up
Wasn’t Gino supposed to make an album with Aldo Nova if I’m not mistaken

[MulaKO]

I don't know.

Were you from the old neighborhood

[MulaKO]

No...I'm not Italian. I grew up in Cote des Neiges and Ville St Laurent. Spent most of my 20's and early 30's living downtown Atwater, and Drummond. I used to work at The Gazette pre internet days, when the going was good. I left Montreal 35 years ago. It was a great life for a young guy, and then I decided to try a different way of life before I got too old to make my move. Went to the Dominican Republic for a couple of years, and then came here to Vancouver. I wanted to live where it was warmer in the winter and greener, and by the ocean...left Montreal and never looked back. It was actually my first trip south to Alcapulco where I met Pino when that seed was planted. I came home to brutal winter weather and decided one day I'd get out of there.

Cool
My brother lives out there
Loves it
