Flamenco Information

For the winter, I am currently performing occasionally at Fresco Saturday evenings from 6 to 9 pm; if you're thinking of coming, send me an email to see if I'll be there (I'll know around 4:30 pm). It will mostly depend on if my friends can join me. (We are on the patio, and in winter non-aficionados prefer indoor seating)

I would like to acknowledge my deep appreciation for the Gitanos in Moron de la Fronter who were such good friends to me during a difficult period in my life; in particular my friends Gonzalo and La Chica, my teachers Agustin Rios (guitarist, singer and true flamenco), and,of course, the late Diego del Gastor, and all the others that were so tolerant of us half crazed American aficionados that were trying to understand the art they had inherited and created.

Also, Mercedes (Leon) and Albano, who helped me learn to accompany the dance in their studio in Madrid, and many others in the studios at Calle Amor de Dios in Madrid.

Also for the generous support and encouragement of Dr. David Broad in helping me keep my Flamenco projects alive, to Suzana "La Ceniza" for her contribution to these pages (and my life), to Rowan Hughes for his encouragement and his painting (and the luthier of my first Flamenco guitar), to Ron Fernandez for his encouragement, to my students for their support, and to all flamenco performers and aficionados, past, present, and future (with a few, uh exceptions - you know who you are...:-); without you, there would be nothing.......
