HarryCarter Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Desi and his former wife Linda Purl will be performing at Feinstein's at the Regency in New York on September 30 and October 1! I'm very excited about this. The September 30 performance will be recorded for a live CD. Feinstein's is scheduled to close at the end of the year, so I'm glad this is happening so soon.

HarryCarter Posted September 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Linda Purl on her former in-laws: PC: Another great lady of the stage and screen I would love to hear your recollections of is your former mother-in-law Lucille Ball. What was she like one-on-one? LP: Oh, she was great. You know, I knew her after she had not been working for a certain amount of time - she had chosen to stop working. In my interactions with her, I found that she was a very strong woman who was very smart, very loving, extremely family-orientated and a great backgammon player. PC: She had had quite a life. Was she hard on you at all? LP: Well, I honestly have to say that I never saw any of that with her - I can’t speak to any of that, but she really struck me as a very strong woman with a lot of strength of character. She had a beautiful life and really treasured her family - and she was always very loving to me. PC: Desi, Jr. will be joining you at Feinstein’s, correct? LP: Yes. Desi, Jr. will be on percussion. PC: Obviously, your relationship remains amicable, post-divorce. LP: Oh, of course - I’ve just been so blessed to have such a close friendship with him, and, also his lovely wife, Amy. They have been together for more than twenty-five years now. Desi, Jr. is just an incredible musician - he is phenomenal. PC: What was Desi, Sr. like, from what you remember? LP: Well, I don’t think he was ever tested for it, but I suspect that if he had been he would have been categorized as a genius. PC: He was a true pioneer. LP: He wasn’t a linear thinker - you know, somebody would come to him with a problem and he would go way outside the box, but he had this capacity to approach problem-solving from the underside of a brick wall; just a huge, huge talent. Again, I did not know him when he was working, I knew him much later in his life when he was having a very lovely, calm, quiet life by the seaside in Mexico.
