No worse than any other town? Mike From: Gustavo Rigterby Sent: Saturday, May 09, 2015 8:22 PM To: Michael and Linda Marmer Subject: Re: Vuelta Hi Michael, Nice song, acoustic and country-style from the '70s. I read the lyrics from Richard's site while listening. As you said, it's about a guy leaving BA to US, but the one wearing the t-shirt seems to be a woman (girlfriend?) , whose photo he keeps in his wallet. Also he's arrested in Miami, right? Those "Che" t-shirts, as well as posters, are very popular in Argentina, though his mention was forbidden in the late 60s 'till we "recovered" democracy, back in 1983. There was a (sort of) joke to show how popular those posters were: "I have a poster of each and everyone of you in my bedroom" sign: Che Guevara. He was a controversial person, with his pros and cons, but IMHO he lived (and died) according to his beliefs. I recommend "Diarios de motocicleta" (Moto diaries), a film about his trip through South America in the early '50s, with his friend Alberto Granados.That was before he met FC and became "Che". In this link http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diarios_de_motocicleta_%28pel%C3%ADcula%29 you'll find a summary of the argument. I found Ballon Man in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1dEiytMYnk , as the link you sent isn't available. Later will listen to the other songs (from Richard and Chuck) whose links you sent me. Noticed the "Apple picker" on the envelope, good sense of humor. Nice model ("maqueta" in Spanish) of baseball, trains and apple trees. I imagine you have a room only for that hobbie. Btw, I see 3 shelves on the wall behind the baseball field. Are those beer cans or bottles? And Richard is rightm about our taxi drivers. Most of them think they are Fangio when driving. Any question you may have about Buenos Aires or Argentina, feel free to ask.

A group from Argentina does back up, Puente Celeste. Wonderful song I did not know that Veulta in English is return. I just learned that today, as I googled it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjvPP1PcwTA This is a song from the CD, about a guy trying to leave Argentina to the US, Che Gueveara T Shirt. Again, Taxibs from Buenos Aires are seen on the CD with Richard standing outside the taxi.
