[Tango-L] Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus

[Krasimir Stoyanov]

Sorry, I have not yet seen a tango, that is 50/50 dialogue.

So, I would gladly be a violin (more likely contrabass :-) instead of trying 
to play the too clever violin.

This dance is a monologue,like it ot not, adorned by some additions from the 
follower.

Otherwise, instead of telling a story, (painting canvas, playing violin), it 
becomes a quarrel. I see it every night locally. And I am tired of this 
pseudo-tango.
