“Matar” judios
Teniendo en cuenta los orígenes andaluces de mi familia paterna, supongo que lo de “matar” judíos era una costumbre importada del sur, que se practicaba el Jueves Santo: por cada vaso de vino que se tomaba, “caía” un judío. Lo hacíamos después de visitar las iglesias, que es tradición que fue perdiendo fuerza desde el momento en que las posibilidades económicas de las familias les permitieron viajar en esta época.
En tiempo muy pasado los últimos días de la Semana Santa(jueves, viernes y sábado) la vida de la ciudad daba un giro de 180 grados. Cerraban los cines, las emisoras solo emitían música clásica, en el Círculo de las Artes, por ejemplo, se prohibían todos los juegos y las mesas de billar se tapaban con telas oscuras y el único recurso que quedaba para darle al cuerpo un poco de alegría era frecuentar bares, cafés, tabernas y similares. Únicamente un hecho ajeno a los actos religiosos rompía el tedio de aquellas fechas: el torneo internacional de ajedrez que reunía en el Salón Regio del Círculo a figuras nacionales e internacionales, entre ellas Arturo Pomar, el más grande jugador español de toda la historia y entonces famoso en el mundo entero.
Me hablan maravillas del libro “Fin de siglo en Palestina” de Miguel Anxo Murado, que ejerciendo de periodista se pasó cinco años por aquellas tierras. En la presentación que se celebró hace unos días de Madrid estaba su sobrina Sarita, hija de su hermano pintor. Sarita, a la que conozco desde que era bebé, se va a graduar próximamente como arquitecta en la prestigiosa universidad de Yale(EE.UU.). ¡Como pasa el tiempo!.
Leo que se ha muerto John Balan, se le conocía como “el hombre orquesta” y pasó los últimos de sus 73 años en un asilo de Pontevedra. Yo juraría que era bastante más mayor. Mediado el pasado siglo Balan venía mucho a Lugo y frecuentaba sobre todo el “Bar Restaurante Club”, más conocido como “El Celita”; estaba en la calle Buen Jesús, en el mismo local que hasta hace poco ocupó uno de los “pubs” más famosos de la ciudad: el “Dvorak”. “El Celita” daba los mejores calamares fritos de la época y tenia una barra para los vinos y al fondo el restaurante. Estaban separadas por puertas de batientes, como las de los “saloones” del Oeste. Apoyado en esas puertas Balan hacía de las suyas y reunía a docenas de espectadores. Fue el “inventor” del “spanglish” y autor de frases como “un hombre pobre es un bulto sospechoso”. Anduvo mucho a su bola y puede que su apego a la tierra gallega le impidiese ser figura nacional. Los últimos años de su vida profesional los pasó actuando con orquestas por las romerías.

Menuda forma de maldecir a de Jesús Buján cando lle tapaban as mesas.

Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this website. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s challenging to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and visual appearance. I must say that you’ve done a excellent job with this. In addition, the blog loads super quick for me on Firefox. Excellent Blog!

Good points?I might word that as somebody who really doesn’t write on blogs a lot (in fact, this may be my first post), I don’t think the term ‘lurker’ could be very becoming to a non-posting reader. It’s now not your fault in the least , however perhaps the blogosphere may just come up with a greater, non-creepy name for the 90% folks that enjoy studying the content material .

Great post, always enjoy reading your commentary.

I do not know if it’s just me or if everyone else encountering problems with your blog. It appears as if some of the text within your posts are running off the screen. Can somebody else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them as well? This may be a problem with my internet browser because I’ve had this happen before. Kudos

Subotai, a friend was a poll worker in Malden a few years ago, and he said he was constantly pestered by old Kennedy supporters asking why the couldnt vote for that Kennedy guy. He was running for office in the next district!

I’ve been reading your entries right through my morning holiday, and I should admit the entire article has been very enlightening and very well written. I believed I’d allow you to understand that for some explanation why this weblog does now not view smartly in Web Explorer 8. I desire Microsoft may forestall converting their software. I have a question for you. Might you mind replacing weblog roll hyperlinks? That will be actually neat!

Abnormal this submit is totaly unrelated to what I was searching google for, but it surely was once indexed at the first page. I assume your doing something proper if Google likes you enough to put you on the first page of a non similar search.
