Mario, thanks for this! Small world story: The last time Al and I were 
in BsAs, we took a taxi back from a restaurant and asked the driver to 
return to take us to the airport. When we got in the cab the second time 
the driver said " I saw you last night at Sunderland; you were sitting 
at a table near the entrance and then Ada joined you." He then explained 
that he taught tango in Saavedra, and was Javier Rodriguez' father. It's 
great to have a video of him dancing, and to know that there are various 
Rodriguez siblings . It's also a good example of simplicity and 
musicality.. .
