Any Current Photos Of Brasil Members of Days Past??

[AfterSunrise]

Hi Friends!

I haven't searched all of the topics on the forum, but I was wondering if anyone knows of current photos that might be on line, or available elsewhere, of members past from Sergio's various Brasil groups - especially Brasil '66 and Brasil '77. I would love to see what a lot of these folks look like today and what they are up to!

I agree...it should be "in the form of a question"...!

Oooo fellows!

My most sincere apologies! I didn't mean in anyway attempt to "tease" anyone. I was just hoping that someone knew where I could find some current photos.

(And Dave...No need for the angry face! )

Er...it's gone, now...!! (Sorry! ) You're right, a "photo-gallery" of what the surviving members are like, today, would be really neat to see...!

Yes. I changed the title of the post and put it in the form of a question so as to not mislead anyone further.

How many former members have passed on? And how, if you know?

Rubens Bassini died, I think back in the mid-eighties... And Claudio Slon, died just a few years ago, after posting here a few times and even submitting a photo of himself to our "Rogues Gallery"...

Speaking of recent photos of Brasil '66 members, my sister, a Sergio fan, though not to the same extent as I am, recently espied the cover of Lani's "Brasil Nativo" on my coffee table. Though Lani looks fabulous with the henna-colored gamine hairdo, my sister, Carol, was shocked as she could only conceive of Lani as the dusky babe in the stylish 60s garb. When I mentioned Lani hails from Chicago rather than Bahia or Niteroi, my sister almost plotzed! Can we bear to be brought up to date?

Hey Chris!

Yes! It is amazing how different Lani looks, just from the 60's to the 90's. I thought the same thing when I purchased "Brasil Nativo" on CD years back. Not that Lani isn't pretty, (she is still beautiful), but she was quite the hottie back in the 60's. I'm not sure that I like the redder hair color (is that her natural color, or was dark brown her natural color).

I know...this stuff is so petty compared to her incredible voice, but still fun to chat about.

There's a recent picture of Tiao Neto at http://jbonline.terra.com.br/jb/papel/cadernob/2001/06/14/jorcab20010614013.html Tiao Neto had passed away of cancer in 2001 which is very sad for me cuz his death occurred just days after my birthday. Even more sadder is the fact that Rosinha da valenca had died on my birthday this year.
