That's A Moray!


One more thing about Venice.  It’s one of those places where there are sufficient numbers of tourists to support a market for wandering accordion players.  They stand on the fringe of the seating area, play for awhile, and then come in and pass the hat.  They all seem to play from the same songbook—Volare, the theme from The Godfather.  C.C., little biologist that she is, got confused upon listening to the lyrics of That’s Amore.  “Mama, why is that man singing about moray eels, and what does it have to do with the moon hitting your eye like a pizza pie?”
