How is the tango scene in Tashkent?

Извините, но нет переводчика для узбекском или каракалпакском.

Как танго сцены в Ташкенте?

Remote Tango :: Windhoek, Nambia, Africa

Proof that tango exists (at least in someone's mind) in some very far corners of our blue marble. A Google hit today from someone in Windhoek, Namibia, Latitude -22.57, Longitude 17.0836 using the search string "tango quotes"...amazing...

This photo is also somewhat representative of my mental state just now - a heat stroke induced torpor (where the fuck do I come up with these words!?), emerging from my after work collapse called a nap, groggily not knowing what day it is...is it real? Or is it a dream?

Is this person a tango dancer? Do they live in Namibia? Is there tango being danced in Namibia? Or, is it someone on an adventure trip or safari, who is simply missing their tango? Did they forget the exact wording of a favorite tango quote? Did they just have to get online when they had internet access and do a search?

I wonder. I wonder from within my torporous stupor.

Thanks to Emmie76 on Flickr for this fantastic photo - and for making it shareable...

Amarillo by Morning :: Tango in the World

This is Asleep at the Wheel performing "Amarillo by Morning", although the lead guitarist/vocalist Ray Benson is not singing, the fiddler is not too bad.

A Google hit in Amarillo this morning made me think of this song. Someone did a search on "tango musicality"...in Amarillo, Texas of all places. Whooda thunk!? I'm curious as to whether it's someone who lives there, or someone just passin' through.



Here's more of them...this one is "Route 66"....



And one of my favorites..."Hot Rod Lincoln"...

Tango in Beijing?

My first hit from Beijing, China was today. Someone Googled "tango's photos" (sic). There may not be actual tango dancing in Beijing, but there was at least a tango thought.

Who knows, it's probably someone who drives a Cadillac Escalade.
