Just heard Danny Boy sung in Arabic.  At an Irish bar on the UES.
A benefit for people in Staten Island and the Rockaways.
Earlier in the day ran into the owner of a bar I drink in. Irish ex-cop. He said I'd be needed elsewhere soon.  I said I'd never go.  He told me the images of dead children on TV meant the end of the Vietnam war. 
I said this time the father was with the BBC.
