Flamenco Information

Notes (last updated 2/19/2012):

I am in the process of rebuilding my website; bear with me. I will be announcing upgrades and additions to the site in my Yahoo groups (see below)

"The Academy of Flamenco Guitar" no longer exists as an entity, and PO Box 1292 is now closed. I have made the .pdf files available as free downloads For now, the lnkable multimedia inside is only playable while you're visiting the website). Enjoy!

(The nonsense text in some of the windows is a filler for future content.)

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 alife, to Suzana "La Ceniza" for her contribution to these pages (and my life), to Rowan Hughes for his encouragement 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.......
