 It has often struck 
me that many tango purists are trying to time-travel and live in another 
place and time.

Carol, I agree with you that a dance, a music, or a language, cannot help
but evolve.

I am not contrasting that: my point is that evolution can go in many
different directons.

I am not stuck with the "Vieja Guardia", and I love new stuff, but not the
way electrotango is going:

I love *acoustic instruments*, I cannot stand electric bass, sinthetizers,
electronic instruments and drums.

So, I am quite open to the evolution of tango, *as long as it uses acoustic
instruments*.

Cheers

Mauro
