Hola Amigo!

In researching some old fights in the NY Times, I came across this weird item from Feb 17, 1929 --

"Cuba outlaws bongo drums"

What??? Just the line??? no explanation???

I didn't copy the short article but the idea was that bongo drums "excited" the people and therefore, on a moral basis, should be outlawed.

WEIRD!

Did the "Bay of Pigs" excite you? Didn't excite my people that lost their lives there.

A burning plane flew over my house during Bay of Pigs, my father was hidding from Castro's secret police and my cousin was jailed, several people we knew were executed and I ended up an exile since I was a little kid...are you a Cuban also?

Not Cuban. Just lost friends in the operation. Learned a good lesson from it.

Five americans were killed in the operation woking for CIA.Bobby Kennedy was so heavily in denial of the fiasco that he was still denying American involvement two years later and the widows and families of the 5 -all officers in the Alabama National Guard- were denied veteran benefits and medals and paid off through a lawyer's office in Miami Springs...
