Re: at the ballgame

[Marvin Margoshes <physchem...>]

A waiter in our favorite Italian restaurant in Yonkers used to hum Hava
Nigila as he worked. I asked him how he knew it, and he said it was from
working at Jewish parties in Argentina.  Later, he first told us that some
customers objected when he played it over the restaurant's sound system, and
then that he is Jewish.  Not longer after, he left the restaurant, but I
don't know why.
