Hello, just came back this weekend from vacation, 2 weeks earlier as planned because of severe back problems again. Last year I suffered from a double hernia, and since then I have to be very carefull of my posture, but which is very hard. I went to Marocco with a collegue of mine, who is from Marocco, and we went into the mountains with family and friends of him to make music. The enviroment was great, the musicians even better. I've never had such an intamate gathering, and it reminds me of the early cante-days. There was this young guy who had made his own guitar from a can, a wooden stick and a break-cable from a bike....damn he plays as the best. This all was an amazing experience and felt sad I had to leave. What it'll means, I am not gonna participate in the challenge, and personally even worse, I am gonna stop playing now untill my backbone is ok again. Goodluck, and every now and then I'll have a look at the forum, but can't read that much because sitting is one of the worst things I can do. Gladfully I have another 16 cante DVD's which I can put on and enjoy.... This is not the thread, but I don't have the energy to look for the right thread, but these Rito Geografia del Cante DVD's are just fenomonal....for the history offcourse, but also for your compas.... I noticed that, besides the strict compas ofcourse, also the joy and the jaleo's really help in understanding compas.... greetz Remco

There is a fantastic prize of 2 free skype lessons from ToddK Hey Ailsa, I just found out that this was the prize being offered this time, and I have a comment about that. I have some doubts as to whether this prize is actually going to be a prize to all the winners, because for a Skype lesson to work, both ends have to have pretty decent internet connections. However, we cannot guarantee that all the participants have such good connections. For example, the connection I have is so sluggish as compared to most other people's connections that Skype lessons might turn out very choppy and unusable. I am not the expert, and probably ToddK would have a better say in this, but I just wanted to point your attention toward this issue because unfortunately, there still are places in this world where there are daily 6-hour power outages, and a 512-kbps internet connection (which allows for a maximum of 55 kilobytes per second of download speed) costs too much for one to afford easily (for example, Beirut. ) Vale? Gracias!
