Introduction

I am new to the forum so I thought I'd introduce myself. I am 58 and I have played guitar since I was 21, first classical and then flamenco. I played with a flamenco and Spanish dance company for 7-8 years until I broke my left wrist and had to put the guitar down. I learned to play tinwhistle and Irish music to to prevent me from going into music addiction withdrawal. A couple of months ago I pulled out the guitar and started relearning to play. I still can't play like I did before the injury and I probably never will but I am remembering why I used to drive 60 miles two evenings a week to play for dance classes for 2 1/5 hours each night. Once you get into flamenco you are never out. Duende lives inside and can't be ignored forever. I am happy that I found this forum.

yup, that's me! if you mean 60 mile round trip that is.... if you mean 60 mile there AND 60 mile back i'm doubly impressed!

sorry to hear about your accident, this forum is great, hope you stick around and enjoy it (and i'm sure you will have lots to contribute with your previous experience).
