BTW, TB you are correct about Havana being a hot tourist destination in the pre Castro days. It was not uncommon in the 50's for people to baord a plane in Miami, go to Havana for the night....do clubbing etc., and return at dawn the following morning.
A guy I worked with year ago, who was a bit older than I, grew up in Miami. He played in his high school band. As a graduation present, the school took all the band members to Havana for a weekend in the pre-Castro days. My co-worker said that, at every street corner, some tout accosted them to go to see a show that was "jooost like Superman..."
