I'm coming clean here, and letting everbody know i''m here. (only 2 days) I had a wonderful afternoon yesterday reading all the great posts over the last year. Mainly the ones regarding my Alegria, and of course my Zata dissaproved "no compas" buleria!
IT was a real pleasure to browse, i'll tell ya! :0 :-)
When i first got an internet connection a few years ago, and jumped into the flamenco message boards, i had no idea what i was jumping into. I didnt know how to take all the hoo haa. I'm very embarassed for the way i acted. But i was being attacked and didnt know how to handle it. Believe me, if i could go back in time, i would do things completly different. Thank God i was able to keep my friendships with Zurdo, Dimitri, Ron M. Escribano, and many others, that realized, i just made a mistake, and im not a maniac.
I have a whole different perspective on it now, and i understand much better, how to coexist peacefully, and deal with negative people, without a war breaking out. So if you have objections to me being here, please post your opinions, and i will gladly respect them. And if there is a clear message that i'm not wanted here, then i will certainly leave, no arguments at all.
But i would absolutely love the chance to start a new, and show you all that i'm not this crazy aggresive maniacle person. I just want to hang out and talk music, just like you all do. I hope you'll give me the chance to do that.
If not, i totally understand. Please speak your mind. Dont hold back. I can take it.
Hey, at least i will have gotten this one post in.:) Better than nothin.
BTW, Escribano was on to me from the begining. He's letting me make this post. I thank him endlessly. I'm sure you all do as well. :)
I look forward to hanging with you here and chatting right hand and what not. I'm sure people here will be interested in your new project, too.
You should go to the sound files section and check out all the stuff there. Especially Henrik--he can play a little... Also Florian's new composition is beautiful. And this Ziryab guy plays pretty good for a rookie.
I find it totally far out that you are not (or were not)allowed to be here. Having followed the F - T forum for 1 1/2 year, I can only say that you are one of the most knowing and educated persons on that forum, so I 100% recommend you. Besides, everyone being able to apologize as honestly as you just did, should have at least a second chance.
So welcome my friend, we need people like you. Anders
Hiya JonnyK LOL! I had no idea it was you! Howzit going? I was actually gonna email you about that guy Miguel's Zapateado en Re. It's a great rendition...lot's of energy, good stuff.
Hey Todd, glad to see you here... please consider posting up something in the audio upload or jam section. Someone of your talent is definitely able to contribute.
I ducked into the forum briefly over the weekend and completely got the wrong end of the stick - I thought there was this newbie called Jonny playing a practical joke on us and pretending to 'come out' as Todd.
...now after reading all the 'pretend Todd' posts, I realise it really is Todd
Hiya Todd, and welcome to FF. Glad you have sorted things out with Escribano. I have noted on a few occasions over the past year or so you playing the peacekeeper over at Eborneo rather than the rogue poster, so its good to have you around again.
Looking forward to hearing more uploads from you - what are you working on?
Hey Jon, its really great to finally get in here, and hang with ya'll!!! I'm psyched!
I'm doing the usual. I'm trying my hand at videos now.
I've managed to set it up so i can record video, with audio through my SM-81's , and it all syncs up. I got Vegas Video, great program, i recomend it highly.
So i'm gonna probably be posting some vids. First one will be some Solea falsetas, i'll play, then slow them down.
Some PDL, some Serranito, some my own. :) Needless to say, i'm having tons of fun!
