Twice Through- Carlos Copello's Interview

FROM the interview  "CARLOS COPELLO Tengo una pregunta para vos"  Watch this over and over on YouTube.
This one is too good to miss- an hour  + of some amusing tango history. One day I will track down all the great dancers or friends he mentions and find clips of their movements. Forgive incorrect spellings.
PERA(PERITO), EL TURCO JOSE, EL NEGRO MANSILLA, POTROLEO,
ORLANDO(COCO) DIAZ, ALBERTO MORAN, OSCAR LARROCA,
PORTALEA(EL NEGRO), MIGUEL BALMACEDA, ANTONIO TODARO,
PEPITO AVALLENEDA (PEPE), RAUL BRAVO,
 FINO(FINITO),FRANCISQUITO,MILONGUITA, LAMPAZO, MARIANO MORES
.....and the women   MILENA PLEBS, TITA MERELLO, CARMENCITA CALDERON.
              Next a few of his quotes:
"My life is a milonga"
"Before it was about quality, now it's about quantity."
"If you wanted to learn, you had to watch." "Just watch."
"It's about feeling peaceful and satisfied."
"Real tango is for a few chosen ones."
"It's like you lose track of something."
"Embrace your tango."
"Each of us has a style."
"Tango changed my life."
"Tango gives you pleasure. It just delivers you to the dance floor."
"Everyone should dance his own style."
          Mike and I will dance with him again on Saturday- ahhhh!
