Cuando, Cuando, Cuando
I was at Cappy's yesterday. Cappy is mi barbero. I love this place. Everything is old fashioned, not because he set it out to be like that. Mind you, Cappy has been running this barbershop at the same Nebraska avenue location since the mid 60's. So, this is a place where I get a decent haircut and get to surround myself of the authentic "Americana Vibe" of yesteryear. To some degree, not too different from the barbershops of my childhood back in the caribbean. In any event, there was this vintage radio, sitting on top of a really vintage (and perfectly working) refrigerator that holds the soda bottles and cans that the clientele can buy for 50 cents. That radio is permanently tuned to a local AM station that plays oldies, big band, jazz-era tunes and lots of Sinatra, Crosby, and other great crooners from the days when there was actually good taste in the world of music. The old radio (that is "antique" to the truly connoisseur) was soothing the air with this song that says "Cuando, cuando, cuando". I have heard it before and became curious about the singer and the story behind it. Sometimes, the world wide web turns out to be a dry well for the precise information that you are digging for. However, this much I got: that lovely song is an old hit of Al Martino, an italian-america crooner from Philly. He was the voice behind "Spanish Eyes" also. More on that one later, cuando sea posible.
