[Tango-L] Why are you dancing tango if you don't like tango?

[Steve Littler]

I didn't get from your original post that you had a Tango band. I 
assumed you had a swing band or some other type.

If you have a Tango Dance band I'm sure everyone on this list would 
welcome you to their milonga, over recorded music, if they could afford 
your band.

In small cities like where I live, we probably couldn't. But we would 
probably travel Tampa to dance with you.

We've tried to get a Tango band here, but our problem has been to find a 
bandoneon player (and of course a budget. Obviously musicians deserve 
compensation.)
