Looks interesting.
I must have missed out on an important part of his personal life though. At what point did he marry Gabriela Canseco? In my mind he had only been married to Casilda.

He had two children with Gabriela, Antonia and Diego. Cositas Buenas is from 2004 and the buleria por soleá is dedicated to Antonia so she must be at least 12 years old. Diego is his youngest son.

Before the Francisco Sanchez documentary (his daughter is a baby there in 2001) or around that time I assume. He moved to Mexico at some point.

About the documentary, perhaps PDL took more than one instrument on tour but for sure it was always the one on stage. Morales is credited in Cancion Andaluza.

Together with Pepe Romero Jr. (For ojos verdes) and Lester DeVoe.
Cositas Buenas was recorded with guitars "Paco de Lucia".
Paco many times had to say that his Conde was the perfect guitar on stage but he never played it at home.
IMHO out of stage he used to play very relaxed and with a jazzy touch and possibly he preferred a loosen guitar.
I read somewhere that at home he use to play mainly an old Santos a Josè Rodriguez a Reyes and an old Ramirez. Beside those, are well known his DeVoe and recently the Morales and the cedar and rosewood Pepe Romero.
