A message from Entertainer David de Alba:
Lavern Cummings wore a new gown and a new hairdo for this the last TV appearance he did before his permanent retirement from Finocchio's and the drag Showbiz world.
Lavern also appeared in a cameo in a TV movie called: "The Golden Gate Murders."
Lavern lives in Las Vegas, Nevada and we still keep in touch and we both reminisce often about the good old days we enjoyed when living in San Francisco, California and performing at Finocchio's.
