Charo – Malagueña
An evening pause: For Americans, Charo is mostly known as a buxom crazy comic. Few know she is also considered a world class flamenco guitarist, having won awards.
Hat tip Judd Clark.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

…ah well …. it is up to you Mr.Z. as editor ……..
Gravity just can’t seem to find that nice lady. Nice evening pause, Bob!
I miss Morgana.
I was “coochie-cood” by Charo at a show in Las Vegas in my first trip. It was quite shocking as she gets you before you have time to react. Not the worst experience ?
omg I never knew. All of that from memory. Even Segovia would be proud of that one
BRAVO ? a Dozen Times ?
Not crazy – fiery. Thank you for linking to this. It was a pleasure to hear.
Wow! And, yeah what Tom said! As I was watching I thought, just how old is Charo? I remember seeing her on shows like, “The Love Boat” when I was an mid-teen! All that sort of stuff aside, I am amazed and impressed. I can barely learn to do one thing well, much less what folks like Charo (and many others) do!
There is some controversy over her birth date.
At the time of this recording she was either 67 or 77.
There is a better quality video that couldn’t be embedded, also a little better performanc, i think.
