Very interesting story, McGrath! Argentina is similar to NY City regarding nationalities, you know, when Ringo Bonavena (a box champion as decent and excellent person as ignorant) visited Rome, he said "I feel at home, because all the last names of people are Argentine!". It is curious that all the main social and political conflicts in our country did never arise as a matter of nationalities. Immigrants always found a way to establish peacefully and work productively, and keep their traditions as well. Once my former choral group and pianist went to sing in a nurse home. When we were singing spanish songs, the Spanish old people cried, then sung in Italian, and cried the Italians, then German, and cried the Germans. Am very glad to see how our ancestors mixed up.
Dan, now I see ! Poor bartender, if everybody is so grateful with him, HE will land under a table every night !
