Carmen's Red Ronnie Russell

RONNIE AND THE CORVAIRS, a local Canadian band from the west end of Toronto were finding it difficult to be successful in the rock and roll business. Too young, too green, and too misdirected, Ron decided to leave Toronto for a while. Feeling much despair, he headed for New York City to try and stimulate his musical interests. Enter Carmen Valdez. When Ron met her at the bus station upon his arrival, she changed everything ! From her early beginnings as a 'folkie' in New York's 'Greenwich Village' to her global successes, Ron and Carmen embarked on a whirlwind of euphoria. Not only did Carmen become the greatest international songstress where everyone on the planet knew her name, her penchant for a specific New Orleans red wine catapulted her into the world's prominent wine magnate, which came as a complete surprise to Carmen. Her hobbyist production of a questionable wine harvest in her native Puerto Rico was so well received that the demand reached epic proportion. All these exploits surpassed the wildest dreams of these two lovers taking them on an unprecedented journey through the global paths of wine, music and song.
