Hoy en el London Bridge

Today in London Bridge

© Copyright Oscar Grillo 2011

Hoy un curdela en un pub de London Bridge, mirándome la barba me dijo "¡Eh!... te parecés a Walt Whitman!" y yo lo sorprendí recitándole los versos iniciales de "Canto a mí mismo".

Today a drunken man in a pub in London Bridge made a comment about my beard. I surprised him reciting the first few lines of "Song to myself".

Música:
Billie Holiday and her Orchestra
Me, myself and I (1937)
Columbia CL637

Billie Holiday and her Orchestra: Billie Holiday (vcl) Buck Clayton (tp) Edmond Hall (cl) Lester Young (ts) James Sherman (p) Freddy Green (g) Walter Page (b) Jo Jones (d). New York, June 15, 1937

Brilliant! There should be more of these observations shared in pubs. I need to start drinking in better places.
