HBD Ennio Morricone and RIP (November 10, 1928 – July 6, 2020). “My favourite type of pizza is a Napoletana: tomatoes, mozzarella, and very few anchovies. It must have a thin base.”
HBD Jon Batiste (November 11, 1986). “Imagine if you grew up in a place where your lineage was there for a  hundred years, and part of the culture was to play music 50 percent of  the time. You'd probably have a lot of musicians in your family too.”

"Mi querida vieja: Espero en Dios estaran todos con salud, yo aqui echando gritos pero con un éxito arrollador gracias a Dios y a tus Resos. Eso que me dijistes que tienes no tiene importancia yo tenía una cosa en el frenillo de la lengua y quedé como si nada así que note apures. Te daras cuenta que te estoy escribiendo con máquina pero es que me la regalaron y te voy a llevar una muy linda chiquitita que te va a encantar. Yo tu sabes que no se estas (palabra tachada por Maria Luisa) luego no le atino a las letras y se me quedan los dedos entre las teclas, pero bueno yo no me apuro ni me da cuidado yo nomás echo para delante y a toda Madre. Como la ves? tu no te fijes en mi Ortografía eso es lo unico que nunca en mi (palabra tachada por Maria Luisa) vida voy a aprender."
