Tom, here's a question for you. Suppose we magically somehow obtain
high-fidelity, stereophonic recordings of what the Golden Age actually
sounded like. How much drama & energy do you suppose you would be hearing &
dancing to? How do you suppose the sound would fill a room? Have you
listened & danced to Los Reyes?

If you & I could hop in a time machine, go back into the 30s & dance, what
would we experience.

I've been listening to Los Reyes & D'Arienzo back to back, I'll burn you a
CD for our upcoming Tango festival.  I'm also curious where younger dancers
are going to take Tango music. Its going to happen, always does...

Rick
