We write about the songs that make the whole world sing, we write about the songs of love and special things, we write about the songs that make the young girls cry, we write about the songs, we write about the songs.

Por Una Cabeza
Dear James,
While we're on the subject of bars we visited while you were over, here's one of the gents at Lo De Roberto playing Por Una Cabeza, the only tango I know how to play and one for which Josefina's uncle Pedro mocks me for my inability to correctly pronounce the r's in the basta de carreras line. I'm quite ashamed that it's still the only tango I can play after ten years here, as it's one of those typical tangos that all the tourists know. It appears in both Scent of a Woman and True Lies.
Here's a nice film about an orchestra we saw playing in the street in San Telmo last December. I think it was them. They all look the same.
