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:
