Ron, sorry, man I can't copy/paste....weird! In response, to Kate's point you made, I ask HOW does a 14 year old EXPRESS a rhythm? The way she would involves SOME sort of technique that was learned. A lot of folks learning palmas, can't make the sound, much less the correct rhythm, ya know? Anyway, off topic, I met Patrick and his lovely daughter in Portland. It was just one show, not a tour. I though he would have made comments by now. I don't like to comment about my own playing in shows, I can always have done better you know? I played Rondena solo, and buleria with cajon. Patrick said the sound was too bassy, but we had great sound in the monitors on stage. I think the sound guy did NOT have the house system on, and the audience was hearing the back side of our monitors! LOL There is a link to a review at www.dcflamenco.com (sorry can't paste it) Anyway, for another thread... Nealf, Doit had me rolling on the floor. In case he does not know (hard to believe, it is so funny), DOITSUJIN-your post was full of sexual inuendo. Florian, I don't know man, I have yet to meet anyone who plays HARD for dancers...without "protection", Ricardo

Florian, I don't know man, I have yet to meet anyone who plays HARD for dancers...without "protection lol , well hi, nice to meet you Ricardo I used everything , acrillic, glue, i found that once you start you have to keep going cause all this acctualy weakens your nails if you can go about 2 months just letting your nails recover, i think in my case is a combination of I drink 2 litres of ice coffe every day, I like my nails very short only enough to just see the edge if you look at your palm so really theres no natural place it can brake. Also technique has alot to do with it, when i started i used to brake nails and strings twice a week, now i cant even remember last time i broke a string and its been 2 years since i broke a nail, i am aware of the kind of struming angle that makes you brake nails but if your nails are short and you are concious of the angles of the struming u can avoid nail brakedge as i am sure you allready know. I mean yeah there could be the odd time at a party when you pissed (aussie slang, drunk) and trying to impress a chick who is so hot half hungarian half asian and shes smilling at you and you think oh i am in but then she tells you shes got a boyfriend, you just dont care about the nails but thats just hypothetical.
