Memory

Forgot to mention that all of the stores are now decorated for Christmas and it's only the 22nd of November. Thee American influence here is sometimes too great.

Speaking of this date, it reminds me of how lucky I have been in my life to know of some truly great men. Musicians there heave been many, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Oscar Peterson, Carlos Montoya, Pablo Casals, Andres Segovia, Pavarotti; painters, Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso, Georgia O'Keefe; leaders, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Pope Jan Pawel II, Robert Kennedy and John F. Kennedy. It's hard to believe 51 years as passed since his assassination on this day in Dallas. I was living in Spain when it happened, a day I will never forget.

Zapomnia艂em wspomnie膰, 偶e wszystkie sklepy s膮 ju偶 urz膮dzone na Bo偶e Narodzenie i to tylko 22 listopada. Thee ameryka艅skie wp艂ywy tutaj jest czasem zbyt wielkie.

M贸wi膮c o tej dacie, to przypomina mi, jak szcz臋艣cie by艂em w moim 偶yciu, aby wiedzie膰 o kilku naprawd臋 wspania艂ych ludzi. Muzycy nie d藕wign膮膰 by艂o wiele, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Oscar Peterson, Carlos Montoya, Pablo Casals, Andres Segovia, Pavarotti; malarze, Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso, Georgia O'Keefe; liderzy, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, papie偶 Jan Pawe艂 II, Robert Kennedy i John F. Kennedy. Trudno uwierzy膰, 51 lat, jak min臋艂y od jego zab贸jstwa w tym dniu w Dallas. Mieszka艂em w Hiszpanii, kiedy to si臋 sta艂o, dnia nigdy nie zapomn臋.
