Well, I wouldn't play them side-by-side at a milonga. I do it to illustrate
styles and disseminate information on my show. My main point was don't limit
your listening because you recognize a song on a CD and think that you already
"know " it. I have changed my mind often about songs that I had decided were my
favorite ones or favorite versions after discovering another one. They could
be different enough to seem like new songs. For example, many of DiSarli's
songs are very old "guardia vieja" era songs but he transforms them so radically
that it is often a surprise to discover where they came from or what they
originally sounded like.

cheers,
Charles

Here you go... Right again. Write something wrong, let's argue! Side by side
in my collection, not at a milonga. Of course La Cumparsita tanda in the end
of milonga is an exception. My favorite sequence of three La Cumparsita
versions: Tito Scipa - Enrique Rodriguez - Forever Tango. All three are
great and as distinct and danceable as they come. And, it just occurred to
me that they happen to represent three distinct periods in tango music.

Cheers, Oleh K.

Querido Oleh,
Hay una version de La Cumparsita en sanscrito cantada
por un tal Rampa que refleja mas profundamente aun el
espiritu del Tango Argentino (para mi gusto) tambien
yo la encuentro bailable.- (no estoy seguro que
periodo representa porque no se mucho de Tango
Argentino)
Atentamente
Carlos
