Imagine you are in a foreign country that you don’t really understand, but that you have been ushered to a seat and placed before you is a tall glass that is full. You look around at the faces and they seem weathered, pockmarked and very friendly. The wrinkles are around the eyes that shine. There are youngsters and they are loud, there are women and they are pretty, there are oldsters and they know what you should know.. Suddenly the fellow who brought you here elbows you sharply and you meet his eyes to an understanding you can’t come to explain. Just then everyone slams the glass down on the table before they take a hearty and long swig! They erupt into song. You feel elated and wonderful.
