We crowded into a sold-out Mansion at Judge's Hill ballroom for dinner seating to see Charo. Yes, Charo. She is still alive and well and singing and joking around playing flamenco guitar. She played "Bolero." I'm not kidding. There were no admonitions about cameras. In fact, she mixed and danced with the audience and posed for our flashes. Songs, dance, and guitar arrangements with her fab band boys. A benefit for Austin Cabaret Theatre the event was good fun. A college friend of FFP's came and sat with us and brought her UT student son who had great fun. Fun for all ages as they say. We saw old friends and also sat with the owners of The Chocolate Bar and Candylicious in Houston who are quite the bon vivants.

Will she ever change?

ReplyDeleteActually, she is changing. I interviewed her for my newspaper column and she says that she is going to be leaning more towards showing off her classical guitar talents than the cuchi-cuchi stuff.
ReplyDeleteShe has four dates with symphony orchestras set for this year, btw.
