quote:
we can get deflamenco news by clicking on "news" at the top of the page. Hi Simon, Ron, everyone... That's great about the news, but the best articles and images, like show reviews, go into the features, the large banner on the front page...we save other items for the "news" section which is the small banner. Please let's do consider doing something for Parrilla. I'd been asking about him and following his progress since last November when he had this stroke. Everyone gave me such optimistic news, I didn't grasp the reality of his condition until I saw him last week. He needs 24-hour care since his movement is severely limited. The family has used nearly all the money from last May's benefit concert to refit the house with special aids and equipment and frankly the living quarters approach squalid. Mentally, Parrilla is not diminished, which makes it all the more tragic in a way, as he appears to be suffering physically as well as spiritually. Ramin at Flamenco-teacher can confirm all this. The man is just 59 or 60 - he's not "a guy who played guitar" but part of the great Jerez guitar tradition who has been deprived of his only source of income. Paco Cepero wanted to get a monthly stipend for him from the municipal government, but for bureaucratic reasons it was not possible. He's being cared for by his loving daughters and sister, but they're completely overwhelmed. Any small amount will be greatly appreciated by them. Simon, surely we can work out a system and pitch in.
