Eddie Garson's Chico Chico Ventriloquist Figure
|
Eddie Garson performed with the Xavier Cugat
Orchestra and he produced Chico Chico out of a conga drum. I
really wish I could have seen that show. I certainly am old
enough to remember the Xavier Cugat and Abbey Layne and then
Charo but I never knew that there was a ventriloquist on board
too.
Chico Chico is part of the Ventriloquist Central Collection and
I thought I would show him to you. He is 42" tall and is all
original just as Mr. Garson used him. I was told by Bob Isaacson
that in fact Chico had the wavy hair with the part but it was
quickly replaced with the wig you see on him now. He has side to
side moving eyes and slot jaw only. His paint is 100% original
and still in spectacular condition. He has the standard wooden
Marshall hands and the wooden lower legs.
Un fortunately the fabulous wardrobe that Chico Chico was
dressed in as well as the conga drum were trashed before the
family sold Chico. I only wish I could have had those items to
go along with him. He is dressed exactly as he was last dressed
by Mr. Garson when he was performing in the Miami area.
