I love Liberace. Ever since reading Dave Hickey’s essay, “A Rhinestone as Big as The Ritz” in “Air Guitar.” A fascinating man.
This j-card was from a tape I bought at a thrift store. It includes Liberace’s wonderful rendition of chopsticks as well as some great between Liberace and his audience. Well the tape deck in the Buick finally went kaput so there will be no more Liberace sadly. The next car I buy probably won’t even have a tape deck. So, I figured I’d immortalize this small piece of Liberace on the web.

If you can find a copy, you should check out the book ‘Behind the Candelabra.’

It’s written by one of Liberace’s ex-lovers about his time with Liberace. The pictures are amazing. There is a sort of Joker (from Batman) element to the story as Liberace got his plastic surgeon make his boyfriend over in his image!
Thanks David! I’ll look for it.
