[Tango-L] Better? Worse? Just different.

My last comment. If over time, I keep adding more and more sugar to my
coffee, I'll either develop a taste for very sweet coffee or I'll stop
drinking coffee. Extrapolate this through a tango community and you retain
those with a sweet taste at the expense of those that don't. :)

I'm still not seeing the extinction or obliteration of tango.  

Alberto says there were only 40 people dancing classic tango.  I'm pretty
sure there are way more than 40 today.

Arabian horses are still around, correct?

Tango music has been changing since the 1940's.  I've heard new music
created by newer orchestras.  Some in the traditional vein.  Some with
influences from a different genre, some heavily.

And still people dance close-embrace and dance to classic tango music.  My
community prefers classic tango music.  They like to dance to alternative
maybe twice a night, but not much more.  

Still not seeing an extinction.
