Newsbreak Cafe
What an unexpected treat! Susan Fernandez and Bobby Garcia singing Leah Navarro and Basil Valdez! He let his hair down "due to insistent private demand" and, with Susan playing the guitar, both performed some of the most memorable love songs I've heard in many, many years. None of the people I was with that night realized how precious that performance was amidst all the foolery and laughter of the half drunk Joel Saracho and friends. Once again, just like my realization about Eraserheads, the more I stay out of this country, the more things I took for granted before have become very valuable to me. Antonio Banderas said it in one interview: when he left Spain, many things that he even hated, came back very beautiful for him after a long time....
I felt just like that- i mean- Leah Navarro and Basil Valdez???!!!! pshchschchhh!!! Have I ever imagined in all my life???!!!! So I jostled, drank, danced, laughed, and pretended not to listen so hard because most of my friends there have probabaly heard them a hundred times before... but i really appreciated it and wished to thank them for this wonderful performance on my homecoming. I hope they realize that they contributed a lot of 'class' to that humble cafe that night.
