In 1991 I was in Madrid for a week or two looking for a good classical guitar before I moved to a tiny island in the Central Pacific. I visited Bernabe, Contreras, Manzanero, Rozas, Ramirez and Vicente Camacho. All except Camacho had shops with counters, attendants, etc. Camacho was alone in his workshop. He seemed inclined to converse. Camacho told me he was the only apprentice of Modesto Borreguero, one of Manuel Ramirez' three famous oficiales. He talked a little about Borreguero. I asked Camacho whether he had any apprentices. "No tengo ningún discípulo," he replied. "Trabajo aquí solo, como San Jose." He seemed a bit wistful. RNJ
