Oh how happy I am to have received an e-mail from Miss Tango (she always hooks me up somehow) letting me know about this great blog in Italian, about Tango.  Sounds perfect for me…!  Looks like I’ll spend my Thursday night leggendo, reading, before I dance tonight.

I told the girl who paid me this generous compliment that she’s now my best friend.
