Organisers in Australia, in  my experience, will not pay for good  
quality professional Tango  DJ's.  There are a few who go to the  
trouble and expense of  seeking quality, but not many that I have  
seen.  Anton, in  Brisbane, makes the effort and it shows at his  
milonga.  To make  or raise money, you have to organise your own events.

Re buying music,  you know my view.  Elshaw's music is the best classic  
Tango  available and that's what I want, especially when you have gone  
to the  trouble of buying good quality audio gear.

Which begs the question; why  would Patricia from Toronto go all the  
way to Buenos Aires to buy  music when the best is just up the freeway?

because the group  relied upon a couple of DJ?s who bought their own  
music and never  charged for their DJ services.  My friend was told he  
should do  the same..

So I am wondering, do DJ?s around the world, including my home  town of  
Melbourne, buy their music just for the love of it and expect  nothing  
in the way of payment when called upon to DJ at a  milonga?  And if you  
are a tango fan/DJ, how much do you think  you have spent on tango music?

I?ll go first:  I think I have spent  at least US$1,8000 in the last  
few years on tango music and have  provide my services to a milonga/ 
practica for  free.
