Notes:	acoustic instrumental 3 takes "El monito" is an example of a tango that changed it's key while transferring from Shellac to digital. The sheets proof clearly they played it in G-major/G-minor. As Julio De Caro did also in 1928. If you find a lower pitch in F# it makes no sense. Manlio Francia told Néstor Pinsón that he was the one who yelled "Monito, ¿Querés café?" (Little monkey, want coffee?) he also stated that Thompson would often do something similar
