Hello from South Pasadena, CA

Hello! I thought it was about time for me to join this forum. My name is Lou and I've been playing guitar since the sixties. I was a classical guitar major in college and make my living as a composer, mostly cartoons and theme park attractions. Back in 1974, I saw Paco De Lucia in concert at UCLA and haven't been the same since! Flamenco to me goes straight to the soul. I am a newbie at flamenco and now play mostly finger-style jazz. I own two different flamenco guitars. The first I bought from David Russell Young in 1980 when he gave up guitar building and decided to make violin bows instead. The second guitar is a beauty built by Andy Culpepper (#25). I bought it last year from a student at Cal Arts who needed the money to travel. If you follow Andy Culpeppers' blog there are photos of it being built.

Here is a link to my homepage: http://www.loufagensonmusic.com/

That's probably more than you'll ever want to know about me. I hope to be a good addition to the forum and look forward to bouncing ideas around.

Cheers!
