Diego de Morón

Where's Diego de Morón?

If I recall correctly, there were some posts a while back, stating that he was ill.

Somewhere I read that he was roaming the streets, living off what people would give him for playing a falseta or two on a broken guitar ...

I believe there were even some utube vids.

there was a thread about Niño Miguel that fits the above.... maybe Diego de Morón similar story, i don't know.

i never knew what the story was with Niño Miguel anyway, why he ended up like this.... was it drink, heroin, mental illness? or a combination? (pretty lethal combination of those three....)

never heard that about diego de moron. ive heard it about el Niño Miguel.
Niño Miguel ended up like this due to mental illness and the abuse of alchohol on his body. i listen to his two albums on the way to work each day. the guy was a monstro and in my eyes he's still a legend.
