Hi Tootsie,
Yes, Geraldine (Gigi) Wilson is related to David - by marriage! We recently celebrated our sixteenth anniversary and have a fifteen year old son who just started high school here in Corpus this past week.
Do you remember when we were in sixth grade at ANS and the girls were reading all the Nancy Drew mystery books they could find and the guys were reading all the Hardy Boys books available? I'll tell you a little secret , if you promise not to tell anyone. Some of the guys read a few of the Nancy Drew books, too! Shocking, isn't it?
Well, I must say that you all have good taste in music - many of your favorites are also mine. Here are some more singers that I don't believe have been mentioned so far: Bobby Vee ("Take Good Care of my Baby", "Run to Him", "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes"); Roy Orbison ("Blue Angel", "Only the Lonely"); and who could forget that sweetheart - Connie Francis ("Don't Break the Heart that Loves You").
Paul, I thought I was the only one that remembered "Que se Mueran Los Feos" but after seeing that others remembered it too I guess they played it so much when it was popular that it was sort of burned into our brains; that and, also, it had kind of a catchy tune.
Elsa, thanks for the song on YouTube. I loved to listen to the Nicaraguan radio stations in Managua and have collected quite a few CD's that have recordings of the singers of that time such as: Lucho Gatica, Olga Guillot, Daniel Santos, Celia Cuz, Alberto Beltran, and Celio Gonzalez. Playing those songs bring back alot of memories of your beautiful country.
Best Regards,
David
