Saturday afternoon, while driving home from a wedding gig, M. and I attempted to think of double bass players who might want to play in a Tango band. No dice. And electric bassists are pretty much out, since I want somebody who can bow an upright.
Tonight I hauled myself downtown to go to the Sunday practica (not having danced since June). There I met an old high school classmate, (a pianist), and as she described the gig she'd played on Saturday night it dawned on me that she was not describing a piano gig. Nope, when she started talking about trying to find an electric upright so she wouldn't have to haul around "this cavernous sound chamber" I realized that she now plays bass. And she loves Tango. And, as I quickly discovered, is totally psyched to get a group going.
Woohoo!
