    I had the privilege of singing with Carlos at Pappasitos and other restaurants. Always a Professional gentleman with high standards, I’m not sure if people knew the many Instruments he played. I saw him play Keyboards ? & Trumpet ? & Guitar ?at Pappasitos with mastery.
    He had a sincere and genuine sense of appreciation for all people & his audiences always respected him for it. Many musicians can play music, but Carlos also knew how to >Entertain, so the people had a good time.
    A good person is gone & a good musician. (I only just now heard about his passing. He will be so very missed. Such sad news.)
