Dear clinen3,

Though I have not been able to locate a official source of the music
used for the scene, I found a newsgroup posting mentioning a very
famous tango in connection with the movie "Tuesdays With Morrie": It
is "Blue Tango", composed by Leroy Anderson (1908-1975), a world hit
in 1952 and still very well-known today. It has been a while since I
saw the movie myself, and I saw it only once; however, should my
acoustic memory not fool me, "Blue Tango" is the tune you are looking
for.

Please listen to a Midi version of "Blue Tango" here:

Please follow this link to get to a website with a very impressive,
but rather large Midi version of "Blue Tango":

I hope that both my memory and my search have not mislead me; if so,
please be so nice to let me know in a Request for Clarification before
rating me or asking for a refund.
