    I've been going through my CDs and purging a bunch of what I don't listen to. I figured since it was the season, I'd offer a little trivia contest. The winner wins two CDs: Col Bruce Hampton and the Aquarium Rescue Unit and Daughters of Bluegrass: Back to the Well. I'll pay the shipping.

    Each year since my kids were born, I've made our XMas card every year. One year it was them as the Three Stooges, another year it was an Oh Brother parody, another year it was a take off of a Star Wars Poster. This year, it's more of the same.

    The first Cafe member who can correctly identify the TV network, the two TV characters, and the TV personality (in the middle) will win the CDs.

    And by the way, the kids are my twins Adam (age 5, top left) and Gus (age 5, middle), and my oldest boy Max (age 8, top right).

    Good luck, amigos!

    Jim

    My gosh, people, nobody here is going to make a guess?#I've had one person respond with a part of the answer. #Are there no Latinos or lovers of Spanish TV in the Cafe?!

    I'll even bump up the prize to include a wonderful album: #Doc Watson: Live at Gerdes #

    I haven't watched TV in 25 years, other than when I was at somebody else's place.

    hmmm...not sure, but I'd guess the one in the suit to be Bob Tilton (goofy TV evangelist from back in the day)?

    Hi Jim,

    I really like your Christmas card this year. Gus is pasted on Chilean TV host Don Franciso who hosts the show Sábados Gigantes (Big Saturday); you've put Big Christmas. Adam seems to resemble Roberto Gómez Bolaños as the superhero Chespirito from El Chapulín Colorado and Max resembles him as El Chavo del Ocho, the orphan. Richtervision is Univision. Who knew that going to a diverse medical school could also benefit me on the Mandolin Cafe? Feliz Navidad!

    And we have a winner! Now that wasn't so hard, was it?

    James, PM me your address and I'll send the CDs out to you.

    Feliz Navidad!

    If I would have seen this last night I would've won! That show is outrageous. Growing up in Florida and having many Cuban friends and now a Cuban girlfriend I'm well versed in many things Latino.

    Never heard of it in my life! LOL But I'm not much of a tv watcher either.

    Actually, many of you should probably El Chapulin, the red grasshopper superhero in the top left hand corner. That was the inspiration for the Mexican Bumblebee guy on the Simpsons.
