[Tango-L] Chris UK Comparing tango gods to mortal teachers

[Keith]

Huck,

You're right, Gustavo Naveira is one of the very best. But you
have to admire Chris for having his own opinions. Of course, we 
all know Chris hates teachers in general, but I was surprised 
a few months ago when he described a class he took with Gustavo, 
at which he said he could learn absolutely nothing. Doesn't seem 
possible, does it?
