[Tango-L] Ecstasis and Control

[Floyd Baker]

Hi Keith...

Thanks for the word on the thread.    I have looked back in my own
archive and found it was going on from Dec 21 to Dec 25th of 07.
That's not exactly 'endless'...  But the time period would be reason
enough for me to have missed it.   Nothing amazing about it.
 
But moreover.., I was so burned out from spending 4 months totally
involved with nothing but organizing the Buffalo Tango Festival..,
along with putting up with a self agrandizing devisive clique that has
developed here now.., that I dropped out.., and stayed away from
anything Tango for the rest of the year and into January...   

But..., I'm back at working on another Festival...  I'll never learn.
<g>    So we'll see how it goes this time.   Pictures of the last
couple of years are here, btw...   I've been working on the albums for
the past few days...

Remember I'm just getting back into it.., and I'm changing the photos
from our domain to Google too.  So this is still just a very good
*sample*.    I'll be adding more soon. .

Btw... I didn't see that many were really down on the violin concept.
I read some nice compliments on the way it was originally meant. Only
when someone brought in some totally unrelated negative slang term did
people begin to shy away.  Ya see?  Whenever there are two ways to
go.., some people just can't help pointing everyone to the wrong
direction.    And some people just go there...  I just don't
understand it.   It happens a lot, I know.

Strads of course have the finest of qualities..  Their tones are the
most perfect in music.   They produce extreme beauty because of their
qualities..  And the Maistro attempts to bring out their fullest
potential.   It takes two to Tango.    

So I still don't know anyone who would disagree with that analogy..  .

Now watch someone argue Guinarius.  That would be typical, eh?   ;-) 

Take care....

Floyd
