Hi Christina,

Nope haven't read the party in question - sounds like a lot of fun though.
No we attended a tango play and I tried to reflect something of what I saw.

Don't sress if you can't find the rhythm - I just re-read the piece and
ended up scratching my head - the rhythm may all have been related to the
way I held my head when I was writing asnd not evident otherwise, I reckon.

I've just noted a couple of mistakes - an omission and a repetition, so some
repair work to be done that will probably move it even further from wherever
it was I started. Oh well... LOL

Cheers,

Frank

Cheers,

Frank
