Ruben:
I saw you on the PBS docu. "Latin Music USA". Without the mustache, you look like your son. "Mack the Knife" completly gassed me, especially the two trombone figures. After Bobby Darin, and Louis armstrong, I figured there was nothing left to say with this tune, but you're right up there with them.
Did Willie Colon know how ridiculouss he sounded when he said, "Well Ruben had a mother, and father. He never had holes in his shoes. He never lived in the barrio. He went to school. He went to college. He really does not understand this music."
Ruben I really wish you would understand Salsa.
Hector La Voe was a complete revelation to me. I love everthing about this man. The way he moved, the way he sounded
Reuban, you should should have been in Phila. in the fifties. Forget Frankie Avalon, and Fabian. My people, the Jews, went cha cha crazy. I knew people who quit their jobs to dance all day.
