___Laredo's Master Showman

___Rene Ornelas, now legally using the monicker Rene Rene put on quite a show last night to a medium-sized audiende at the Laredo Civic Center. Quite an effort for a seventy year old man to expand so much energy in doing a 90 minute show as he sang, joked, and even danced tohis music all the time sharing his love and committment for the Lord. He started by remeiniscing about the days of "gravy fries and cherry Pepsi's" all for twenty cents at the City Drug downtown". ___He sang all his old songs now reworded to sing his Praise of the Man above, he spoke of the old days at Martin High and even had some graphis of the 1954 Yearbook on the big screen. I spoke to him afterwards about appearing on Hot Town and we will have to see how that developes. Anyhow, he has another performance scheduled this weekend in Laredo and those of you who missed him would do well to make an effort to catch his act.
