I disagree, and as a professional writer I who was married to a professional musician I completely understand what it takes to be an artist. I'm just astonished at the people who manage to take offense at an innocuous comment. At this point I sincerely regret having made any comment at all--end of discussion.

The manipulator ("puppeteer") said he didn't really dance tango, but he surely communicates the sentimiento of a tanguero. Most porteños don't actually dance tango, but so many of them really feel it in their hearts. I appreciate that you took the time to comment, and compliment. Gracias.,,, muy amable.

You have absolute no basis to assume that.

There have been countless puppeteers in the history of the world, and you miss the whole point of what it takes to be an artist.

I agree with you in not being quick to assume the worst of someone. You should then agree in not being quick to assume the best of someone.

People with big hands, big feet, etc., I hope you catch my drift. At worst, you're come across as a dilettante.

Gimme a break. What I meant was that I'll bet he's a great dancer as well, because he can infuse an inanimate puppet with that much sensitivity. Don't be so quick to assume the worst of someone.

"I wonder how the puppeteer dances?"

Here is wonderful vignette of life captured by Mr. Terrazas, and an artist using a marionette tointerpret the music and verses of a classic tango, all you can wonder is about his dancing...

How clueless and insensitive can you be?

[pool0cue]

Fabulous, absolutely fabulous. I wonder how the puppeteer dances?
