Gene Hamilton signs record deal

Part time Coral Bay resident and full-time St. John lover Gene Hamilton has decided to bypass the American Idol route and go straight for a record deal. He has signed with Blue Tang Productions for the summer release of his CD, “Water Dancing,” including the blockbuster hit “Rockin’ the VI.”

Terms of the deal weren’t disclosed, but partner Eileen is expecting major bling out of this. The CD will include 10 original tracks. Here’s another taste. This is “See you on St. John.” Enjoy!

   Gene…Demand use of the Blue Tang jet!!!
   No commercial flights for someone with your talent!! Just remember us little people on On-St. John when you hit the big time!!!
   (I liked the way you worked the name of the record company into your song!!!)

    Sounds great. It’s about time Tuna Down Now was memorialized in song. So did he get advice from counsel before signing up with Blue Tang?

    Love it! Loved the previous song I heard from him as well. I’m definitely a buyer of that CD. Make it EARLY summer, ok?
