Our YT Choice for the Vid of the Wk - Fri. Sept. 27 - till Fri. Oct. 05 - 18 - "Marta Mirska 1948 - Tango - 'Letnia Przygoda' (A Summer Love Affair)".

       For the last week of Sept. 2018 - we chose a lovely Tango uploaded by Dr. 240252 on Sept. 24 - 2018 titled "Marta Mirska - Tango 'Letnia Przygoda' (Summer Love Affair)". The composer and the lyricist - Jerzy Boczkowski and Janusz Odrawaz - respectively - were not well known - nevertheless - they did a good job.
       The big star of this video - however - is the silky, warm alto of a singing star - Marta Mirska - a talented and a beautiful performer whose smooth voice and excellent phrazing in deliving the evocative lyrics - made one smile. Her songs played a lot on the radio during many summers of my childhood and adolescent years - which now appear exclusively beautiful in my memories since a lot of time - have passed.
      For many years Mirska was a reigning Queen of Polish radio, of the performing stages of all kinds - and she has also sold millions of copies of her various hits. In the 1940's and 1950's - her legions of fans were counted in millions. 
     Sadly - her many life's passages, crossings and challenges including prolonged bouts with alcoholism left her penniles, destitute, forgotten, sick and alone - abandoned by all - at the end of her life. Some young girl - maybe a special angel of some sort - came by to visit - so Mirska didn't die - totally alone.     
     Those kinds of sad stories - unfortunately - happen to quite a few performers but a lot of them get better with age like another famous Queen of Polish Song - Slava Przybylska who still looks great in her eighties and still performs. Her famous Tango "Farewells" from the Polish movie by the same title - has always been one of my most favorite and loved Tangos. The lyrics and the music sound great to me - I could listen and listen to this Tango and never get tired of it.
     At any rate - all of us will have a super good first week of October 2018 - coming up very soon. The year is coming to an end - unbelievable - how fast it went. The cool autumn arrived quickly in my hilly "corner". Thanks - as always - for clicking our Youtube channel tango3721! We meet again - next week - same place - same channel!

Our YT Vid of the Wk. Choice for the Wk. - Sept. 21-18 through Sept. 28-2018!

       We chose a terrific video produced by Don't Walk Run! Productions - titled "Abolish Ice Because Feelings" posted on YT platform on Sept. 17 - 2018. The producer of these politically astute and funny videos who calls himself Andrew - the Senior Political Strategist - appears on a screen as a commentator; his job is hard - but on camera he looks relaxed as if he is having fun and he radiates a super sense of humor which makes his remarks - on-target and funny. 
      You will enjoy this video because it has a lot of effective arguments against abolishing the U.S. Immigration Customs Enforcement Agency - ICE - which keeps and "eye" on the U.S. borders for various criminal elements and illicit drugs, so they do not "seep-in" into our country. Lately - however - the newly emerging Leftist/Socialistic leaning politicians are urging the abolishment of ICE. 

     So far - those new Socialistic/Communistic leaning politicos along with their "friends" - the older - "closet" American Socialists who called themselves Progressives - are all beaten to the pulp by the American voters in the most recent as well as in the past U.S. elections.
      The new and old Leftists/Socialists/Progressives - have been always consistently, severely rejected by most American voters during the current 2018 primary elections - as well as in the past major elections - barring some deeply Blue/Hard Left/Democratic states like California/New York/Illinois - which currently and always - have suffered the results of their failing Socialistic policies which cause them to badly "hemorrhage" their valuable taxpayers who bolt, bolt, bolt - en masse - to the neighboring Red/Republican states which are not perfect but much better than high-taxes, high crime infested deep blue Left leaning Democratic states. 
      We will meet again - the same way - same time - next week!

Our Choice of YT Vid of the Wk - 3rd Wk of Sept. 2018 - "La Cumparsita - Xavier Cugat & his Waldorf Astoria Orchestra - 1946."

     For the third week of Sept. 2018 - we chose a video uploaded by Dr. 240252 on Oct. 10 - 2014 which presents an amazing orchestral arrangement of a classic Tango "La Cumparsita" composed by an unkown Uruguayan composer - Matos Rodrigues around 1920. The Tango instantly became an international sensation which made Matos Rodrigues - famous all over the world. 
    This magnificent version - brilliantly orchestrated by a famous Latin band leader - Xavier Cugat and his Waldorf Astoria Orchestra - keeps an even, ten beat measure for the dancers. The vocals - done superbly in English by Dinah Shore - a terrific vocalist - presents this classic musical piece in a top notch manner.
    We need to add to this splendid mix - super effective visuals from Art Deco Epoch of various dancers doing their Tango in an evocative manner - so we arrive at the terrific video. The viewers comments under the video are also interesting to the max - including the one by yours truly - main editor of this column. (Not boasting or anything - mind you.)
    In any event - we know that all of us will have a really good third week of Sept. 2018. As always we thank you all for clicking our YT channel - tango3721. All of us pray for the Hurricane Florence to quickly disappear in the ocean while the beautiful even if a bit rainy fall arrived here in our hilly neighborhood! We shall meet again next week - same place - same "channel"!

Our YT Vid of the Wk Choice for the 2nd Wk of Sept. 2018 - "Ted Cruz Leaves Dems in Schock with this Clinton Bombshell!"

       For the 2nd Week of Sept. 2018 we chose a funny video by Ms. Gotcha News Network titled "Ted Cruz Leaves Dems in Schock with this Clinton Bombshell!" which she uploaded on Sept. 05 - 2018. It turned out that Ms. Clinton wanted to quickly appoint several liberal U.S. Supreme Court justices who would "stretch" the U.S. Constitution in favor of various Liberal/Socialistic/Globalistic leaning programs which are strongly advocated by some Liberal/Socialistic leaning American politicians - mainly from the blue/Democratic states. They are perceived as a threat by more conservative American politicans with their constituents who vote in the so called Red/Republican states.
       Currently the Democrats became "hijacked" by their hard Left/Socialists' faction. The American voters will "speak" about it during the upcoming Midterm 2018 elections coming up on Nov. 06 - 2018 and they will voice their dubious opinions re: Socialism - trying to creep up into American mainstream politics - during the following the Midterms - presidential elections of 2020. Tons of political observers feel that most Americans consider "Socialist" brand - terrifying and ugly - and will reject it - "en masse". 
       In any event - all of us will have a good and fun second week of Sept. 2018 - which is hot and humid in my hilly neighborhood but the lovely fall is almost here! We shall meet again in the same place - the same time - next week!
