Tango
any one heard of an accordion less String band taking it on?.
one area can only support so many Contra Dance String bands
so I thought branching out might work .
Bunch of Finns landed here a century + ago,
They were the non english speakers putting the fish in the cans, for a long time.
and descendants are still here ..
the home country took to Tangos I'm told , maybe a second front can open here ..

Re: Tango
The surprising thing is that Argentina, with the second largest Italian population in the world, does not have a strong mandolin tradition. Tangos are great to play on mandolin, go to tangojam.com for lots of free music.

Re: Tango
you don't need the accordion (or bandeņon, really). I am down here in Buenos Aires. You hear tango played on just guitar a lot. I am playing some on the mandolin, of course.

Re: Tango
Thanks for that link, Joel - nice site. I love the tangos, and just got a strange gig fall in my lap for Sunday - - - a new bishop is being installed in the Burlington St. Paul's church, they're having a big dinner and want, of course, Tangos. Go figure - - not the Catholic Church I remember. Drop on by, bring your uke.
