Re: [TANGO-L] WALL STREET JOURNAL 8-29-05 ARTICLE ON "NEOTANGO"
I second that! I was at his latest All-Nighter on Saturday (no, I didn't
stay all night.. too old for that!) and I had a great time. He played
traditional tangos until around 3am by which time old farts like me pack up and head
home to sleep.

Let's not jump on Homer because of this article, especially since he is not
on this list to defend himself. Homer has one of the comfiest, most
sensitive embraces of anyone I know, in any style. He is extremely
open-minded about tango, loves open and close embrace, neo and traditional
music, and has done a whole lot for the promotion of the dance on the west
coast of the US.
I think we should be glad whenever tango stories come out, especially when
they are in such a highly-respected newspaper with world-wide distribution
and get such prominent placement! -- even if the focus of the article is not
the style that we ourselves prefer. The message of the article is that
tango is growing, booming, and becoming popular among the younger
generation. That's a good thing!
