[TANGO-L] Community Growth - The Next Generation

[Bugs Bunny <bugsbunny1959 @HOTMAIL.COM>]

I see lots of valid ideas/opinions all around, from people with varying
degrees of differing tastes. As it should be. I hope there's room at the
table for everyone [young, old, pre-geezer, beginners, intermediate,
snooty-advanced :o), traditionalists, modernists, alternativists], to have a
great experience of shared community & dancing. Things that are good for the
soul. Speaking for the U.S., a country rich in stuff & poor in spirit/soul.

The sensibility of Color Tango, Los Reyes, Sexteto Canyengue, Perfumes De
Tango, Cuarteto Cedron, Hugo Diaz, later DeAngelis, Canaro, DeSarli, Troilo
& others seems fine to me.  Same goes for Tango2Evora by Loreena McKennit or
that haunting Turkish version "CokUzaklarda". I've heard audible gasps of
pleasure at the ends of some of those songs. DJs who are paying attention,
will have as well.

Tom, this may sound strange, yet again. I wish you were coming back to DJ
for us here in pdx at the next festival. I had a great time the last time
you were at the wheel, so did everyone I danced with. I thought you read the
energy of the room well & had a different take. I wish I had taped the
evening so I knew what songs your were playing & when.

Take care...
Rick

PS:
  * I hope that Magellan/Einstein is quietly working away out there :o)
  * I hope its ok to enjoy drama & energy again; now about that pesky
sensibility :o)
  * Best wishes to pdx dancer's heading to Argentina tomorrow.
  * Bugs is going dancing in Minneapolis in Jan., hope its not cold there.
    In PDX, snow & cold (30 deg) closes schools, people can't drive, is
    newsheadlines & people freak out.
