Racist claim warning: When I was a very young child in New Haven, Connecticut there was an Italian tatterdemalion who had a crank organ and a money. He would play the tune while the monkey danced. At the end of the tune the monkey would bow, take off his hat and walk along the crowd with hat in hand to accept tips.
I miss those days.
