Hello, Lucia, Manuel, and everyone,

Thank you for your e-mails!  I am with you and I am grateful for your  
clear, loud voices.

I have come to a conclusion that we need the tango slobs.  All of them  
- DJs, teachers, etc.  We need them in tango communities as a filter.   
Dancers know the difference and are able to choose.  Even the rank  
beginners! We also need them to help certain essence of tango to  
emerge through contrast.  People feel it at their core when the music  
is good. But the good music will not be appreciated if it is always  
taken for granted.  So we need events with bad music to know the  
difference.

Warmest regards,

Nina
