I always meant to visit Cuba before the 'merican hordes came back and
overtook the island. looks like the thin edge of the wedge is already jambed
in the door.


Another reason to regret:
http://www.nytimes.com/2003/07/15/obituaries/15SEGU.htm

"Compay Segundo, the salty Cuban singer and guitarist who rose to
global fame in his 90's as the eldest of the elder musical statesmen
featured on the album and film "Buena Vista Social Club," died on
Sunday at his home in Havana, an official at his record company in
Spain said. He was 95."

So sad that he was trapped in a totalitarian nightmare.

The entire article is a good read...
