In fact, we'll provide secret numbered bank accounts and make watches, too. We can easily defend our island. There is only one bridge and no airport. Our dynamite fishermen will be recruited into our Navy. We have to be free speech because so many Dutchmen live here, and, brother, if you think AMERICANS are pushy, you have not seen or heard anything yet.

I visited Bay Walk in Manila when I first arrived. Before they shut it down for the noise, there were a number of live bands performing. It was quite an amazing scene, with remarkable talent. <br /><br />I don't know that Hollywood is much different, however.

We changed our satellite package and I lost that channel, so I don't know if he's still at work. He'd pick up the guitar and plunk along with Eric Clapton (on tape). Plus break into some classical play now and then. A very personable gentleman. Reminded me a lot of me, except I can't play guitar or sing and am hostile most of the time.

Did you know that he and Ninoy Aquino became friends when they were both in exile in the US? The Jacintos' businesses (steel mill, radio station) were taken away from them by Marcios after declaring Martial Law. RJ used to tag along with Ninoy apparently as the latter went around in the US speaking before Filipino groups and others on the abuses of the Marcos regime. <br /><br />RJ only went back to the Philippines after the EDSA revolution and opened up Bistro RJ. We used to have our office Christmas parties there because I suspect some of our older bosses were fans. :) I got to dance with him once.
