I met Jack Buckingham once in California. He relates in the preface to one of his books that he had originally been a bandleader, and one day he saw a flamenco guitarist perform. Being a musician himself he was struck by the music, and decided to take up flamenco guitar. The guitarist he saw was Vicente Gomez, who was living in California at the time, and with whom I studied classical and flamenco guitar. Vicente was the nicest and most amiable man I have ever met, who was never without a smile, even when playing. Jack studied flamenco guitar with Vicente, then went to live in Spain. He actually performed professionally in Spain under the stage name of "Nino de California." He was a fine flamenco guitarist, and wrote two books of flamenco guitar music in standard notation, both of which are excellent. One of them, entitled "Flamenco Guitar" published by Carl Fischer, Inc. is one of the best books of flamenco sheet music that I have found, and it can still be bought online. I have had several of my students get it. He is referred to by some flamencos in the superb book "The Flamencos of Cadiz Bay," who describe him as a "very fine flamenco guitarist," or words to that effect. Ramon
