[Tango-L] Missing Magic Thread

[Keith Elshaw]

So, I'm into tango for 20 years. I swear I'm starting to get it!       ;-)

At least, I can't help but feeling things are being revealed. That's why
I'm always on my knees ... a lot going on that one such as me might never
get. Important to pay attention. I look up a lot to try to get it.


Chords have been struck in this thread.

If there is a soft, reflective, tender memory of a slightly better time
for dancers being talked about in the corners, I hope - WE hope - not to
be jumped on.

I'm damn sure this happened to people in the 50's and 60's, if it hasn't
been the case through the entire history of tango.

Things change. Time moves on. No problem. The way of life.

But I'm sure everyone with a tango heart wants to stand on the shoulders
of those who went before.

A person in their 80's would be allowed to say, Oh - I miss the times when
...

Even though they would be right there for going out tonight and get a glow
on if things were conducive.

Well, younger people have the same privilege. You know tango tango, you
can say it. It's just an expression of a personal feeling. Allowed.

Appreciated by others who share it.

My sense is that there's no want to hold back progression or change or
movement in new directions; just a fond hope that a certain community of
spirit won't disappear if things start running.
