[Tango-L] Some live tango music tips from a musician's perspective.

Thanks Bob for a great post. Its really great to have this from  
someone actually doing it, rather than just the rants of dancers like  
myself.

A couple of questions for you and other musicians on the list.

First, do you think there is anything that evangelising tango dancers  
(like myself) can do (or not do) to encourage musicians to follow the  
roots, or to help them find the joy of playing for dancing?  Or is it  
just luck?

Second, in developing your skill in arranging, was listening to old  
recordings important?
