Re: [TANGO-L] Community Development

[Larry Duke <auto_d20 @YAHOO.COM>]

How about .... offering newcomers a joint? For
example, most beginners struggle with the tango music.
Well, some studies suggest that incoming sensory
information, such as the auditory signals that
represent music, normally follow established and
familiar pathways as they travel from their source to
human consciousness. A friendly joint may interfere
with the normal routing of these sensations, forcing
the sensory data to find novel routes to consciousness
and thus be perceived in novel ways.

A joint may also help the "community developers"
themselves to see things for the first time as they
really are, things that they might otherwise fail to
notice. It is a fact that while younger smokers are
attending rock concerts, relatively older users are
becoming increasingly interested in other kinds of
music, particularly jazz and classical. So, why not
Tango?

Just a thought....

El Duke.
