letras site rides again

Rafael Moreno's excellent letras site was down for a few weeks but is available again on my site:

http://www.canteytoque.es/letras.html

Edit: link fixed.

Thanks for the link. This is probably the least attractive website ever in terms of layout (or rather: there ís no layout!), but I have used it often to find a particular letra (when it was still in its old location). What a treasure! I have no idea who put in all the effort to write down all these letras, but I am truly grateful to that person.

Hi Marlies,

Thanks. Over the years, it's been a valuable resource for me, as well. Your post comes at a good time because just this afternoon I finished a revision that I'd been working on since my first post. I've corrected most of the mistakes in the choice of words, the spelling (accents, capital letters and simulation of Andalusian pronunciation) and the meter of the verse. Also, I've added a separate page that includes all of the letras in a single document as a means of facilitating searches. If you have a look online, you'll see that there are several websites that have obviously used the same material. Some of them look very nice and are well organized but all of them include the mistakes. I'll continue revising the material, so keep an eye on the date at the top of the linked page.

There are two: one at the top and the first one in the "more" section. As always, you'll have to reload the page to see the changes.
