Remembering Paco Malo...A Man For Others

Remembering you, Jim, on your special day. Here is a song that was written days after the Class of 75's Forty Year Reunion. I know you would have been the first to give me encouragement with regards to the outcome of the writing, recording, and production. I will never forget your support for my music...for all music...for all art...for people, in general. I dedicate this song to you on what would have been your 58th Birthday. Your life epitomized what this song is about...you were truly "a man for others".

I Remember Tampa

This is the original unplugged version of the Tampa Natives Show Theme Song, I Remember Tampa. Those of us who knew Paco Malo personally, know that he was very passionate about Tampa's history and that he was a huge fan of the Tampa Natives Show, as well as it's theme song. Here, the song is accompanied by video from a short film called "The Flower of Tampa", which was made in the 1950's by the Tampa Chamber of Commerce to promote Tampa and the cigar industry. The original 16mm film resides in the City of Tampa Archives and Records Department along with historic photos from the film's shooting.
