RE: Ramon de Algeciras...what if? (in reply to Ron.M)

Hi Ron, Interesting subject for discussion, although I don't think we'll be able to draw any conclusions or even put forth sound theories without input from a reliable source who knew Ramón well. I read somewhere that Ramón taught Paco the falsetas of Niño Ricardo (which he learned from the source) and was amazed to see how quickly his little brother not only learned the falsetas but came up with his own variations. If the anecdote is true, it may be indicative of Paco's creative capacity (no doubt there as far as I'm concerned) and may suggest that Ramón preferred not to modify Ricardo's falsetas, at least at that early stage of his development. My guess is that Ramón came up with a few ideas of his own every once in a while, as we all do, and that he would show them to Paco, who would probably take a stonger liking to them than most others because they were brothers. Insofar as proportions of contribution, Paco is obviously in another league compared to anyone else we've ever heard, and if Ramón's talent were on a similar level, we probably would have seen some indication of that. Just taking a guess. quote:
I imagine they both learn't the tap-tap from older flamenco palyers -diego del Gastor? Niño Ricardo tapped like that and was far more influential that Diego. In the interview in Rito y Geografía, Diego even cited Ricardo as one of his influences.
