Oscar Alemán on a stamp
While researching my Amedialuz project I came across an Argentinian singer,
guitarist, dancer called Oscar Alemán who was briefly involved with Carlos Gardel (backup guitar for Gardel's original Adios Muchachos recording). He made his name, however, working with Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli in the golden era of Jazz (and Swing, his "Whispering" is out of this world). I was talking with a Reinhardt fan this evening (maniac, if you ask me) and he tells me that he has seen somewhere a stamp with Alemán on it. I have just gone through my entire Scott and got no hits, but I don't completely trust my pdf text-searcher. I have also gone through a couple of Alemán's biographies and there is no mention of him appearing on a stamp in either. So I am asking the group if anyone has come across the name on a stamp? If yes, I would love a scan. Thanks in advance. -- Tony Vella Ottawa, Ontario, Canada -- http://www.amedialuz.ca/ |

Oscar Alemán on a stamp
G'day Tony,
scan care of the young ladies in the off list brigade I had 2,332 Spanish stamps, not this one however. https://images.postbeeld.com:443/series/spp/spp3616.jpg for the Gibbons family SG3717 ...and the best $1 I ever spent, from a car boot sale. http://cjoint.com/data/lwlrKyezOE.htm the guitar work is simply beautiful. "Tony Vella" wrote in message ... Joaquín Rodrigo, Spain, 40 pesetas, March 22, 2001. No scan, I'm afraid. Yes, Mette loved Aranjuez, but her favorite Spanish music was Tárrega's Recuerdos de la Alhambra (a memorable visit during her youth). I recall sending her a Tárrega CD but her Rodrigo was one of the first CDs she ever bought. -- Tony Vella Ottawa, Ontario, Canada |
