[Ira Goldstein]

Hi List, Heather, Nina:

So...the real tango music popped out of an egg in some perfect final 
form...and was accompanied by the birth of the real tango dance in 
some perfect final form; no evolution, no invention, no 
experimentation, no new possibilities created  or  discovered or 
tested or somehow alloyed into it along the way?
