yeah, i guess we sometimes forget that people like Paco and Gerarde are Human like we are - and i don't mean human to make mistakes - i mean human because they are not Robots with no emotions who don't care if they make mistakes,,,,,,,, if people have extremely high UNHUMAN expectations from them,,,,,,, if their mistakes are caught by cameras and spread through internet and posted on forums,,,,,,, if they see that people focus on their injury and see the difference,,,,,,,if ,,,,,,,etc...... i decided to not post anything similar anymore. not because i don't have the right to, or because my intention was bad......but because i somehow feel , it could attract negative vibes and because i somehow feel to be part of the flamenco familly, in which we should take care of eachother

That's OK jg... (Mind you, if Paco had to spit on his shoes during a concert, the "Paco Nutters" would applaud rapturously and fight each other to crawl up on the stage to lick it off IMO...but that's more about hero worship than anything else) BTW quote:
create a bridge between the audience and himself There was an actor talking on the radio this morning who said "Before an audience will like or believe the character you are playing, they must like YOU first." Interesting....I thought about this awhile and reckoned it's true... Live musicians always go down with the audience better when they create a rapport with their music and stage presence. I think this is true for all kinds of musicians too, be it Flamenco, Folk, Rock, Ballads, Jazz etc. Some of the (semi-pro) live shows I've seen, I haven't liked simply because the artist(s) has come across as being aloof or condecending etc...or failed to engage with the audience generally...even though the music itself was probably not bad. But the attitude just made me switch off. It's maybe something worth thinking about for the semi-pro guys here...that doing a bit of work on stagecraft and audience handling can be just as important as playing flawlessly. Just a thought. cheers, Ron
