I am lucky, for today is my free day so, in some hours, I will analyse “La Estiba” -Track No. 1 of the last album of the Super-trio “Paco de Lucia, John McLaughlin, Al di Meola” (1997)- and upload the video with the previously mentioned composition. As my personal gift to the audience that really likes and appreciates Paco for what he is. That composition summarizes every corner and aspect of Paco’s innovations. In many serious academical institutions and Universities, all over the world, it is regarded as Paco de Lucia’s greatest work and achievement on the compositional field until now. Don't bother, we all know you have the technical abilities to pull it of. It's just you don't get the point of playing Flamenco. It's not about copying who is the best in your opinion, it's about true that material finding your own sound, style, compositions.... If you say players like Vicente and Tomatito akknowledge Paco is the best (they do but that's just a way to pay respect to), in your logic they stop compose there music cause the music of Paco is better. Totaly ridiculous! Should we all then only play paco's music?? It's not about making the best music, it's about expressing the inner being. There are plenty of people who don't feel paco but like tomatito and that's a total subjective matter. Instead of challenging Jason for that picado thing, why don't YOU upload a composition of yourself? Your just a copycat with a big mouth IMO. JW

1) No one can prove if I'm Paco's disciple or not but Paco himself, no one else. The oponents who say they know Paco for many years can not fathom how many people Paco has met in his life. I'm not worried about this because it is a FACT that what I claim to be it truth and I have demostrated and proved it thoroughly.It is not enough to be "friend" of Paco, there are thousands of people who say they are his so called "friends".That means nothing.... YOU HAVE TO PLAY LIKE PACO... Not just say: "I understand his music", "I know what he is doing".... YOU HAVE TO PLAY IT. 2)I only analize compositions of musicians from whom I can learn something. I could do the analysis for Mr. Jason's in 10 min but, if Mr. Jason wants to test me, I will test him first and challenge him and the others who pose their selves as "bonafied" teachers and players to show his great expertise and knowledge as a flamenco player. So please upload an hamonic analysis and technical explanation with the performance at actual speed of the Intro, theme and Paco'solo of "La Estiba" (Tangos) Track No. 1 of "Paco de Lucia, John McLaughlin and Al di Meola" album 1997 as I DID IN EL CHORRUELO (Luzia album). Otherwise I -and the very inteligent audience who reads my lines- will take your messages as a cheap bla bla bla of someone who is AFRAID that their "authority" in this forum (in front of may good intentioned aspirants to play flamenco) will fall apart. You have one week to upload your videos in the forum. Today is Tuesday June 16th so your deadline is Tuesday June 23th, 2009. If there is no uploads, I will upload mine and you will prove with your own actions that I'm right. John Opheim
