Flamenco Information
Foundations of Mathematical Physics I am currently publishing to this forum.
I would like to acknowledge my deep appreciation for the Gitanos in Moron de la Frontera 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 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; without you, there would be nothing.....
