Re: [TANGO-L] WALL STREET JOURNAL 8-29-05 ARTICLE ON "NEOTANGO"

[WHITE 95 R <white95r @HOTMAIL.COM>]

Thanks Jennifer, I'll check it out. I think it's kind of neat to see more
stuff like this conme out in newspapers magazines, etc. It can only help to
promote tango in all it's dimensions. It might also help us promote Homer's
visit to Atlanta next month. I think it will be a great tango opportunity
for everybody, including "old die hards" like myself ;-) After all, there is
room for all types of music and dance in all of us as long as we maintan an
open mind...... :-)
