I wouldn't have put Manolo Sanlúcar in the pic, I felt he made his own way, I remember when Paco began to be the talk of the town. At that time Sanlúcar, though older than Paco, was playing competent, but extremely conventional flamenco. Then, suddenly, it was as if Manolo decided he wanted a part of the action too, and his music became contemporary and innovative, building on what Paco had already done, but following his own path. Paco was a wake-up call that came at a time when flamenco guitar was languishing. Moraíto, despite his admiration for Paco, does not belong in the picture...his son Diego, does.

Yeah, I know what you mean, but having played some of Paco's falsetas from the early seventies, and studied the Encuentro video featuring Moraíto I wondered if the influence of Paco is what gave Moraíto some of those influences that mark out his playing from his illustrious uncle and father? Diego for sure is more aligned with the PDL style of the last couple of decades. this also brings up the question I often have when people say "influenced by PDL" or "sounds like PDL" - I always want to ask "which one?" meaning which era of Paco's music? sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties, noughties? He just kept going, didn't he, kept scratching away at the coalface and progressing.

P.S. I will go in a couple of days to the post office and see about the stamp. Zata, did you already go maybe? I did go to the post office Wednesday, but they knew nothing, and said it could take months. But then this morning the head guy from the office called me (at this point everyone at the post office knows about my involvement with the stamp), I was out for a few hours, but then raced to the post office after getting home. They had just two sheets of 25 stamps each, at 75 cents of a euro per stamp. It's more than regular postage because the stamp is good for the whole European Community, which I like. In my excitement I'd forgotten to bring my credit card, so I could only buy one sheet. The guy said a man had stopped by (probably Norman) asked about the stamp, and said he would return Monday. I hope to get the other sheet before he does. But in any case, the P.O. will ask for more as needed. The stamp won't be sufficient for mailing a postcard or letter to the U.S., but I believe it's good for England (and the rest of Europe). Or maybe people prefer an unused stamp. I'm willing to do whatever anyone requests as long as you cover the cost. The stamp itself, at 75 cents, is about $1.05 U.S. I forgot to ask how much it costs to send a letter to the States (can't remember the last time I mailed a letter). But first let me know if and what anyone wants. All these little Paco faces looking out at me make me feel a profound sadness...
