Subject: Tango and mobile phones

I missed the beginning of this thread but it reminds me of something I saw at the Tangomarkkinat tango festival in Seinäjoki, Finland in July =
2002. An attractive young couple were clasped in one another's arms while the sultry tones of "Rakkauden yö" (night of love) throbbed =
about them. Each had a mobile phone pressed to their ear. Were they calling their spouses, saying they were working overtime and of course =
they were nowhere near the tangomarkkinat? Were they arranging partners for the next dance? Or could they even have been speaking to each other? =
I wish I'd had the courage to ask.
