There are a few who go to the trouble and expense of seeking quality, but not many that I have seen. Anton, in Brisbane, makes the effort and it shows at his milonga. To make or raise money, you have to organise your own events. Re buying music, you know my view. Elshaw's music is the best classic Tango available and that's what I want, especially when you have gone to the trouble of buying good quality audio gear. Which begs the question; why would Patricia from Toronto go all the way to Buenos Aires to buy music when the best is just up the freeway? John From: "Vince Bagusauskas" <vy...@hotmail.com> because the group relied upon a couple of DJ?s who bought their own music and never charged for their DJ services. My friend was told he should do the same.. So I am wondering, do DJ?s around the world, including my home town of Melbourne, buy their music just for the love of it and expect nothing in the way of payment when called upon to DJ at a milonga? And if you are a tango fan/DJ, how much do you think you have spent on tango music? I?ll go first: I think I have spent at least US$1,8000 in the last few years on tango music and have provide my services to a milonga/ practica for free. _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list Tango-L@mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list Tango-L@mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
