Hello from Ottawa, Canada

Hola My wife & I were visiting our daughter's in-laws who live in Barcelona. Then, In a fit of total insanity, euphoria & ignorance I walked into the "Casa Luthier" store in Barcelona, tried a whole bunch of beginner Flamenco guitars, picked one out using 3 sets of ears & bought it. I am now TOTALLY HOOKED (maybe the spanish olives or the Jamón did it to me). So a little about myself, my name is Ryszard (Richard in Polish), hence the wyszard moniker. I generally play Bossa-Nova & jazz standards with my wife Sheila who is a flute player & a vocalist. She has much better hearing ears than I do. We are amateur musicians in Ottawa, Ontario Canada, & have been associated with the Ottawa jazzworks community for the past 14 years, check out www.jazzworkscanada.com, we have jam sessions every month. I also have started playing a Cajon about six months ago and have a been playing on jazz bepop drums for about 2 years. Now the next step is to find some other players & a good teacher in Ottawa. I had a quick look at www.newlearningvision.com & am wondering if anyone has an opinion about their online course, or any other courses or teaching material that they liked. I have already ordered the GGM & Juan Serrano books and will get them sometime next week. Any advice or tips for a Flamenco newbie are welcome & appreciated. I was fortunate enough to see & enjoy Paco De Lucia in performance at the Ottawa Jazz Festival in 2011. thank you for the existence of this forum.
