Hello unto you.

From the New York Times:
Lucia Pamela, 98, a Musician to the Moon, Dies
By NEIL STRAUSS

Lucia Pamela, a one-of-a-kind entertainer best known for recording a music album in 1969 about her fictional travels to the moon, died on July 25 in a hospital in Los Angeles, where she lived. She was 98.

Until 1992, Ms. Pamela's only album, "Into Outer Space With Lucia Pamela," was all but forgotten. Irwin Chusid, a radio disc jockey, helped revive her career and produced a reissue of her album. When a small independent label, Arf Arf, reissued it on CD that year, record collectors around the world took note. Not only were the homemade lyrics and songs unusual and full of infectious childlike optimism and sincerity (she truly believed she had gone to the moon), but her background was equally compelling.

Ms. Pamela's story is a mixture of fact and self-invention. She claimed, for example, to be the first person ever on television and radio; that Ignace Paderewski told her mother she would be the finest pianist in the world; that she was kicked out of a German music conservatory for being overqualified. Relatives said there were grains of truth in all these stories.

Ms. Pamela was born in St. Louis, and her mother was a concert pianist and composer. In 1926, Ms. Pamela won the title of Miss St. Louis. After performing in St. Louis theaters, she moved to Fresno, Calif., where she managed the Fresno Storyland amusement park (she also played Mother Goose there). She was also the host of two radio shows for young women, "The Encouragement Hour" and "Gal About Town."

Ms. Pamela formed what some say was the country's first all-female orchestra, Lucia Pamela and the Musical Pirates, in which she claimed to have play ed 15 instruments. With her daughter, Georgia, she formed the vocal duo the Pamela Sisters. Nowadays her daughter, Georgia Frontiere, is best known as the owner of the St. Louis Rams. Ms. Pamela married several times, the last time to Billy Angelo, a professional prizefighter, who died in 1987.

Ms. Pamela is also survived by a son, Ken Irwin of Palm Springs, Calif.; 12 grandchildren; and 27 great-grandchildren.

A documentary on her life is being completed by Danielle Lemaire, a Belgian artist.

One of Ms. Pamela's proudest accomplishments, she liked to say, was building a rocket, touring the Milky Way and stopping on the moon to record her album. With the feel of a warped bebop children's album, it features Ms. Pamela on all instruments — piano, accordion, drums, clarinet, and probably various household appliances — accompanying herself as she tells, with gee-whiz glee, tales of amiable lunar roosters, trips to Mars and blue winds. At 65, she sang of a world where anything was possible and everything was shot through with an innocent joy, excitement and imagination.

The album was released in 1969 on a small label, Gulfstream, and signed copies are said to fetch as much as $1,000. She also created a coloring book that tells the story of a moon trip in which she met cows, Indians and anthropomorphic cashews. "Some of the people there spoke Almond," she wrote.

A tireless entertainer, Ms. Pamela was cited by "Ripley's Believe It or Not" for having memorized some 10,000 songs. The English band Stereolab even wrote a song about her, "International Colouring Contest." She performed at Las Vegas hotels into her 80's.

"It was recorded on Moontown," Ms. Pamela said of her album. "I was the only one from Earth there."

HIJO DE SANTO contra MIL MASCARAS
LAS MUJERES DEL MARTILLO DE VELVET - aiiiii!

"Cine de luchadores (Mexican wrestling films) were produced abundantly over a period of three decades. Lucha libre, or masked wrestling, had been a spectator sport in Mexico since the early 1930s, and has long been considered a family entertainment, perhaps more so than a legitimate sport. Beginning in the early 1950s, with more realist attempts at portraying the lives of athletes, the Mexican wrestling film slowly emerged into the strange and fantastic type of films that are now televised on Spanish language television. As the over one hundred and fifty films were produced, year by year, over a period spanning the 1950s through 1980s, the films incorporated elements of genres popular at their respective historical moment. Over the years, the films featured generic tendencies of science fiction, horror, comedy and action film.

El Santo (born Rodolfo Guzmán Huerta, 1917 - 1984) was the most celebrated and well-loved luchador. Santo made his film debut in 1958 with "Santo contra el Cerebro del Mal" (Santo vs. the Evil Brain), and from that point went on to star in over fifty films over the next two decades. His enormous popularity led to the appearance of second generation wrestlers like Mil Máscaras and Blue Demon, whose celebrity would eventually necessitate the demand for shared bills. Mil Máscaras and Blue Demon would share the screen with Santo to fight bad guys and monsters.

The iconic image of the masked wrestler has permeated the consciousness of Mexicans and Latin Americans, and more recently, has garnered a growing number of fans around the world. Mexican wrestling, as the World Wrestling Federation that has borrowed from it, is based on theatrics and visual excess. Likewise, the films of Mexican wrestling provide a rich feast of images, all made on a poor man's budget. Whether the draw is the camp sensibility or a strong interest in the raw power of El Santo, Blue Demon, and Mil Máscaras (among others), the demand for lucha libre continues to grow."
