Oddly enough, I was listening to one of Rubén's CDs as I came across that video. That's awesome. I've always wondered about how all the great sounds throughout the show were perfected.

This really makes me want to learn more about those. I have a keyboard myself and have become really interested in keyboard controls.

Was that really Rueben? Because I noticed he seemed to mispronoucne Yankovic. I saw another video which had Reuben, and he pronounced it correctly there.

Yes, that was actually him. When he mispronounced it, he was "in character"... it's a bit of an inside joke from AlFest.

Just a quick note, Ruben is finally exploring social networking, starting with facebook at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ruben-Val ... 5067573278" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Please 'like' or 'friend' him or whatever the page lets you do (it's a "musician/band" type page.)

Thanks!

Hey! He just happens to be my MySpace friend! Granted, no one ever uses MySpace anymore, but it doesn't take away from the fact that Rubén was on a social network.

Does this mean he's going to stop keeping his live gigs a deep dark secret?

Ruben is the most talented of them all. I just bought his cd.
I love it!
