Snow and sleet for our 3rd milonga

Just after we left for Clarks Summit to set up the 5:30 dance- which means shopping for ice and snacks- the sleet started.
With the temperature at 19 I thought we were going to skid our way to Clarks Summit. 5:30 came, 5:45 came and it was Mike and I doing a quiet traspie to Poema. Me thinking it would be an evening of tango for 2. The more I think about tango, I think it's only and always tango for 2. Slowly the dancers and the curious walked in - the new couples and singles looked at the lovely space and the night turned out to be a wonderful evening of dance and laughter. How lucky we are to have found the tango. How lucky we were to stumble into the perfect tango space with Ed Mazeleski being so generous with his attitude. Whatever you do is fine with me!
Now I want to share my favorite Gardel of the week- "Cuesta Abajo" from a cd we bought at the Plaza Dorego in San Telmo on a Sunday. Marco Bellini pulls the orquesta tipica together with a perfect and haunting tenor. Name of the group is "Tango Al Palo".
One last item. The dance floor is now a real dance floor.
