I had not laughed so hard and passionately at a video since Stan Lauren & Oliver Hardy tickled me with their dumb gigs (1969)... Thank you so much for sharing this, Jim. I am in turn sharing it with any one in need of a good laugh.

Ciao.

Edit... LOL i watched it again, and man when she sings "Ken Lee" it is to die for.

I know Val, same here when I first saw it. Cracker!
The serious thing is, as the title suggests, how could we ever consider singing Cante. I guess we could extend this point to playing guitar, but Cante just seems too far out there. Almost impossible to reach.
