Sounds from the past

These sounds invoke memories of lazy Sunday afternoons.

In a small town in Portugal, Sunday afternoons were an open invitation for the youth to gather listening to beautiful tangos being played over the somewhat scratchy sound system and dance.

I remember vividly the old fire house's open salon and dozens and dozens of young people whose faces and names I no longer recall.

The sound of this tango is forever etched in my brain along with the sense of pure joy that it invoked on the mind of a young girl.

Those simple and delicious days will stay with me forever.
