| To all tangueros: this has been a tough time. It continues to be, as tango dancing really isn't much of a reality these days. As leader and guitarist of Rogue Tango, I am feeling it deeply, too.
We are so grateful to TSOM for featuring us twice on Zoom Live events. It felt unbelievably rich to re-connect, even if only on that level.
Our new recording is practically ready to go. Apologies for the time it has taken. I trust the music will be worth the wait.
I've started a YouTube channel----it's at ScottMateoDavies and is called The Intrepid Guitar: A Forum. I promise to have LOTS of tango on this program. There are some 50 videos uploaded there now; many of them are tango videos I did with Rogue or with Mandragora Tango. Please enjoy them. Think about subscribing as it costs nothing, helps me a great deal, and will assure you don't miss anything new. For example, I just completed a video of Piazzolla's Jacinto Chiclana that features the solo section played on a vintage 1968 Les Paul Custom guitar. Guitar geeks will know what that's all about....It'll be out within a few days.
The LORING Restaurant is re-opening. Owner Lynne Nyman and I had a lengthy chat and she assured me that all safety protocols are in place, along with a new menu. She asked me to play Sunday evening, August 2nd and I said I would. It'll be solo guitar, at least for a while. Music is from 5 30pm till 8 30pm and I'll do my best to DJ adequately on my breaks. I'll play a good number of tangos, some Latin Bossas, some Piazzolla and do my utmost to create a beautiful evening. Please consider joining me this Sunday. If all goes well, we'll keep the event in place. Call and make a reservation, please.
Thank you, one and all, for continued support. We ARE managing to get through turbulent times, together. I'm hopeful the entire Rogue Tango band can do a Facebook Live event very soon, too.
Sincerely, Scott Mateo Davies
