Dear Mike: I am going to look for Kepa Junkera. I also love tango...and belong to the tango society. I think tango on the accordion is wonderful. There is a Finnish song called Surullinen Tango that is wonderful. Additional songs that are beautiful with the accordion are Valse Chinoise and Ren Tin Tin (not a dog).
Thank you for the posts. :) Love and Peace...Sharon Mike Pritchard wrote: > (I forgot to copy this to the list yesterday when I replied to Sharon, > and also forgot to save the contents.
