Dear Tangueros,

Well, well, well...

Things are really hotting up on the interview issue. Love it! >:-)))))
However, I have to come to the defence of two people here:

i.   Gustavo
ii.  Chris UK
iii. Brian Dunn & Deb Sclar, of 'Dance of the Heart'


Let's start with Gustavo...
Gustavo is BRILLIANT; I am one of his bobbysoxers, and proud of it! He is THE man in tango. Innovator, genius, and everything else in the same positive dimension. I am on friendly terms with Gustavo and Giselle-Anne and have participated now in three of his fantastic week-long seminarios and am attending the forthcoming (imminent) Roma Tangocamp in which he will be teaching. I can safely say that he knows his stuff, can dance his stuff, is genuinely interested in imparting his information about his stuff, is genuinely interested in his students' improvement and in the promotion and enjoyment of tango... [and has a gorgeous wife and dance/teaching partner in Giselle-Anne - someone kill him for me!  >:-))) ...who, incidentally, in her own right is also a wonderful and brilliant tango maestra].

As for Chris UK...
Although I'm afraid I have to say that good ol' Chris UK (whom I have met and actually like) is being a bit of an arsehole here on this issue... he's okay, I suppose. I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure he (like me, often) is being a bit of a 'Devil's Advocate' and instigator of controversy... just for the hell of it. Again, I could be wrong but I'm sure he doesn't mean what he said. Trouble is that often on this List, people get too far up their own arses about things and I'm convinced he is just (again, like me) retaliating against the 'twee' and 'nerdy' sucking-up element who too frequently refer to tango as some sort of new-age deity that should never be criticised for fear of the wrath of the tango-nerd fraternity who permeate this List. Please don't think, though, that I am criticising the poster/moderator (Brian Dunn & Deb Sclar, of 'Dance of the Heart') of the Gustavo Interview... I certainly am not.

>:-))))))))))

Now for Brian Dunn & Deb Sclar, of 'Dance of the Heart'...
You've done a fantastic job with this interview...! Great stuff! I look forward to the next part(s).

Very best wishes
