Activities
- Have you ever been involved in an accident? Once I was backing home after work driving my car at night. My brother was riding in the car with me. Suddenly we saw a man lying on the road. He was dead. There was blood on the road. Two women were out side the road asking for help and there was a car parked outside. I swerved to avoid running him over. I was calmed but my brother was crying. We went to the police station and told them what had happened. They already know that. That had happened a few minutes before we go past it.May 30, 201820

- Bandoneon [ ] The bandoneon, was originally intended as an instrument for religious and popular music of the day, in contrast to its predecessor, more folk music inclined German concertina. Around 1870, German and Italian emigrants and sailors brought the instrument to Argentina, where it was adopted into the nascent genre of tango music. By 1910 bandoneons were being produced expressly for the Argentine and Uruguayan markets, with 25,000 shipping to Argentina in 1930 alone. However, declining popularity and the disruption of German manufacturing in World War II led to an end of bandoneon mass-production.July 27, 201720
