Welcome to The Motel Lounge! What's your poison? This album blog features a variety of unusual vinyl finds from the days when the only way to reach an audience was for the artist to custom press their own LPs that could be sold in the lounge settings, private parties or weddings at which they performed. I'm here to have fun and hope you will share in my process of discovery!

This is the most incredible private or public lounge recordings I've ever heard. He obviously learned to sing in prison. He sang like that in exchange for... candy.

ReplyDeleteSo sad for you to say that .
DeleteIf you didn't get to see Armando live on the 6' square stage at La Pinata, well, let's just say that he gave it everything he had - and then some.
ReplyDeleteAnd the Chile Relleno ("Harry's Special") was the best I've ever had. Ever.
, Henry went to heaven does anyone know what happened to Armando?
DeleteI was a regular customer and helped out waiting and tending bar on weekends. Loved Armando & Harry. Mama's chimichangas were the best.
