any inconvenience that this is causing anyone. The site should be up
and running again by the middle of next week. (around 16 Feb.) In the

Subject: NA-W: Colorado, Live Tango Music at the Mercury Cafe, Schedule
Denver's Mercury Cafe features milongas Friday evenings,
many with live tango music. We are fortunate that
Marilyn, the owner of the Merc', loves tango and does
so much to support it.
For lovers of live tango music among you, here is the schedule
for the next couple months.
We are fortunate to have TWO bands.
EXTASIS is our Denver-based quartet featuring Evan Orman on
bandoneon, Erin Furbee on violin, Ken Harper on double bass
and Rosanna Patrona-Aurand on piano.
Evan and Erin have studied in Buenos Aires. Erin and Ken
are professional symphony musicians who also love to play tango
for dancers. Evan is a professional cellist as well. These
four have become quite popular due not only to their talent
but due to the way they play for us dancers.
DANIEL DIAZ, bandoneonist, is an Argentine now living in Utah.
He grew up with the tango and had his own tango band when still
a teenager in Buenos Aires. He has been coming to Denver about
once a month to play at our milongas, including a recent weekend
with a 3-bandoneon septet. Daniel's schedule is filling up, with
invitations not only around the U.S. but in Europe. For more
