  2. I just came from a concert here in San Juan P.R. Still has that great voice but tonight he hinted that he was planning to retire. He sang light my fire which to me was a turning point in his career and he opened the doors for all Latinos.

  3. I’ll really miss not seeing you tonight at State Theatre, Modesto. Last night my husband & I both tested + for CoVid. I’ve been looking forward to seeing you a lifetime. Yesterday, I was just gonna say, “Forget it. I’m going!” But then I thought, “That’s not being responsible.” So, fingers crossed, someone from St. John’s Evangelical Episcopal will be there in our stead. Thanks for coming to Modesto. Have a wonderful evening! With love & admiration
