King has ear for Musico
And a contract for the comeback kid

By ROSEMARIE ROSS The Herald & News

Don King, once again, looks to be on a roll stocking up his stable. The man with the electrified hair is signing young fighters left and right.

And he is doing it unobtrusively and without fanfare, which is a miracle in itself.

Maybe he is actually turning over a few new leaves.

A couple of weeks ago he signed on not only Jersey City's Joey Gatti, a rated middleweight contender, but also West Paterson's Danny Musico, a 24 year-old super middleweight with only two pro fights.

"We met for six hours in Don King's office, it was great," Musico said yesterday between getting ready to head for King's Ohio camp to join such luminaries there as Michael "Second To" Nunn and Hector "Macho" Camacho.
