We’ve seen orchestra leaders with tangueras in their arms, or simply hanging around with cute groupies, or celebrating their birthdays, joking around in a bar, sliding down the stairs, just standing there being handsome with a cigarette, and the list goes on…

…. so, not a bad life at all. However, sometimes it was also necessary to pay up, and nobody really likes to fork out their earnings, do they? Well, maybe Julio de Caro was an exception, because on this picture he is seen pulling out his wallet with a big smile, while his singer Héctor Farrel points out his empty pockets. A man’s gotta eat, or play poker in a nearby cafe, but I guess his singing was worth the expense.
