I remember seeing one of the Gaonas cars at the train (maybe being unloaded)- It had a popular hobby license plate on the front that carried a different meaning here
"I'd Rather Be Flying" cc

The Gaonas were with us on the Beatty show, in '64. It was Papa Victor, Tito, Armando and Chela. Tito was catching his triples with some regularity then. In this shot, someone else will have to identify the tall guy.

Note to Eric: That season, their music was "Charade".

I remember seeing the Ringling IMAX film in the seventies. I mostly recall Pablo Noel diving into the lions, and Tito Gaona's 8 foot wide close up smile. Both were spectacular.

We had the Gaonas with us in '79 in Australia. The tall guy was Chela's boyfriend, for get his name though
