It's Charley who wears the hat. Hattie, the blonde, often has what looks like a black rosette pinned into her hair on the right side of her face.

Actually, perhaps ;-) [or, perhaps, in a few years]. Or... maybe your amongst the legions out there who have NOT commented :lol: . The one rule that holds true about taste is that... there's no accounting for taste :) .

I'm not saying that he's bad looking, he looks just too young and smooth for my taste :razz:

How old is he?

Hydriot,

I stand corrected :oops: . Do I sense someone out there who should start a 'crush on Webb Sisters' thread :lol: ;-) ?

Kindest regards,

I admire the Webb Sisters tremendously, but not in that way.

Hi Actually ~

I know what you mean. For me, in my experience, too smooth [or too young, for that matter] doesn't usually equate to soul. In Dino's case, however, it's the physical attributes we're tending to reference here, but there's a whole lot more in his energy that brings him into the soul arena; his exuberance being one, his dynamics with and within the music being another. He just is... so worthy of a crush ;-) .

Hi Nico,

:lol: Had to smile at your comment. No, I am sure many women are not attracted to Dino, so you are not alone! I love his energy and his interaction with Leonard during certain numbers! However, when thinking of interaction with LC, I must say that although he certainly is not old, but he is a little older than Dino and seems more European worldly....Javier Mas is an extremely attractive man. There is a photo Joey Carenza took of him at a winery in Australia behind the scenes. He was standing (fedora still on) holding a glass of red wine and a cigarette. Very very nice... And of course, as I always seem to end up...let us not forget Rafael 8)

All the best,
Diana

Unfortunately I've only seen 2 concerts so far and I've been standing in front of the girls both times. Not that I wouldn't like standing there, but therefore I can't really say anything about Mr. Soldo's appearance on stage. Is this his real name, by the way? :)

Ok, now I'm all ears, so where's that picture? ;-)

Nico, the above address will take you directly to the Australia photos, then just arrow I think to the right for several photos of Javier. The one I was thinking about with the wine/cigarette was actually a sitting photo. Joey is a road manager for Leonard and takes some interesting photos. The direct link to current photos would simply be http://www.flickr.com/photos/fauxmantic . It's fun to run through his stuff even when they are off tour!

Take care,
Diana

ps...what an awesome photo of you two! Wow.

Oh it's that site? I think I've been on that site before, because I've seen the link somewhere else, but I wasn't looking through all the pictures.
Yes, that's definitely a good one.

But it's your thread, so maybe we - resp. I - should start another one? ;-)

There are a LOT of Italian-Americans where I live, and the older men do tend to look a lot like this (you could see some people in New Haven who look just like Dino Soldo, trust me.) I think it's the Southern Italian looks that get some women.

How wonderfully naive I have been all these years. And there I was thinking that what really grabbed you girls was our inner beauty, our wit and our intelligence, and above all ... our ability to park a car in a small space! ;-)

Apart from that, it's all about the facial features. There are a few faces that have simply perfect proportions.

Presumably the cameramen on the DVD! (though I'd personally like to declare my unreserved appreciation of Charley Webb).
