Below zero temperatures in Wisconsin & Alvarez-Guedes on the turntable!


We learned today that Guillermo Alvarez-Guedes died in Miami.    He was 86.

Looking back at those early days in the US, or Wisconsin for us, it was Alvarez-Guedes on the turntable who made a few things just a bit more bearable.

Freezing outside?  Listen to Alvarez-Guedes!

Long work hours and little money?  Listen to one of his LPs.

Feeling nostalgic for Cuba?  Laugh at one of his jokes.

Alvarez-Guedes is the man who made "el exilio" laugh and survive those difficult early days that all of our parents had to endure. 

He was a comedian and a lot more than that for all of us Cubans!

RIP and thanks for all of those stories.  Click here for Tuesday's show and my thoughts about Alvarez-Guedes:
