Dear Friend
I´m brazilian. My daddy was in tourism sector of my city Petrópolis, as
a tourism end entertainment manager that year 1995 when America was
touring in Brazil. Then my daddy´s staff asked if America Band musicians
won´t try to come to Petrópolis to an extra presentation on an agropecuary
fair show!! Then, amazingly the Band go up on the mountains and done a
good job. I´m sending three of this historical pictures of America
presentation that night!! The park was overcrowded with 40.000 people!!
The first picture includes my daddy, Ronaldo Gonzalez. My
daddy passed away last November 2001, but the image of that magical night
is still with me!!
