I just got back from Paco's funeral in Algeciras. It was terribly sad, we all cried like little babies. It drizzled rain the whole time he was laying in state at city hall and throughout the church service, then a gust of wind shook the trees, the rain stopped and the sun came out as Paco was carried away to the cemetery to be buried next to his parents. Lots of VIPs showed up...Farruquito y Farruco, Cañizares, Vicente Amigo, Macanita, Paco Cortés, Fosforito, Estrella Morente, Diego Carrasco, Fernando de la Morena, Capullo de Jerez, Javier Limón, Rafael Riqueni, Cristina Hoyos, La Susi, Rubem Dantas and many others. A lot of people such as José Mercé, already said their goodbyes in Madrid yesterday. John McLaughlin read a moving tribute to his old friend, and broke down at one point. Rubio de Pruna and Remedios Amaya sang to Paco in the church. Tomatito cancelled tonight's performance at the Festival de Jerez, and was in Algeciras as well.
