I saw her in Honolulu at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. For all the wild and crazy she puts on, she is a great entertainer, knows how to engage her audience, can play guitar extremely well, and adds some variety (when I saw her, she had a group of Andalusian flamenco dancers who put on a great show themselves.) She’s tiny, barely five feet tall, but what a firecracker….

I grew upon hearing a lot of Xavier Cugat. He did some good music to be used for juggling including this tune.
