It has the metal hood over the windshield - looks like many of the cars in Cuba, just not in as good a shape. Every time I walk past it I think of how I'd like to visit Cuba before it is opened up and becomes Americanized.<br /><br />Richard - the bands have been awful here too!<br /><br />Dave<br />AA7EEAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156518320909350372.post-11584181330838851212012-10-08T21:50:19.285-07:002012-10-08T21:50:19.285-07:00I enjoy the Cuban music, too.

Could find it on the internet today but it was more "exotic" listening to it through the static crashes.<br /><br />17 and 20 meters stinko here!Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10984094559146508871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156518320909350372.post-67647983766124223102012-10-08T19:50:07.718-07:002012-10-08T19:50:07.718-07:00Hello Dave,

It seems the older I become; the less I like the bang, bang, bang of snare drums and cymbals. I don't like really loud music either.Jspikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751088160139882564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156518320909350372.post-7520472482556159222012-10-08T19:35:59.364-07:002012-10-08T19:35:59.364-07:00When I lived in Hollywood one of my neighbors, a C...When I lived in Hollywood one of my neighbors, a Cuban gentleman, would get drunk every month or so, and play very loud Cuban son music until early in the morning. Most of the people in the neighborhood hated it, but I loved it! I'm not keen on hearing extremely loud music played by neighbors but for some reason, traditional Cuban music always sounds great, and is never annoying!<br /><br />Dave<br />AA7EEAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
