My dad loved the Rolling Stones. My mum, my brother & I were less enthusiastic 😆

One of the 1st things I saw in Buenos Aires was a mural of a handsome gentleman in a fedora. Who's that, I asked, & was told very proudly that it was Carlos Gardel, one of the greatest tango singers ever.

Choosing music for ice skating programs is always a challenge. I used this sad beautiful song for an interpretive program, and so many people wanted to know who the singer was. More Lloyd Cole fans FTW!
