Listening to President Obama's speech from the Gran Teatro in Havana, and watching clips of his visit there, is a bittersweet pleasure.  I am not naive about the Cuban government, but I am excited to hear our president say "I have come here to bury the last remnants of the cold war in the Americas."  I am excited for the artists and others that I met on my visits to Cuba in 2000, and 2001 and 2003.  I wish that my friend José Montebravo, who I last saw in Cienfuegos in 2003, was here to see this.
