Do you use the kindle device or laptop?
I like books in the flesh, but I have kindle on my laptop. Do you think the kindle device, should you have one, provides a book like feel to the reading?
S,
abou0t 20 years ago a busy of mine gave me an original kindle, small thin thing that lasted weeks on a single charge filled with hundreds of titles, about 15% were ones I had read but would reread and most were ones I was familure with and there were some I had never heard of. It took me a few years but I read almost all moo them one time or another. It didn't have a backlight is one needed a lamp or even a head lamp to read, think small off the grid cabin in Alaska.
some time before he gave me the kindle I bout a first generation iPad that I still use every day with the kindle app.
Over the years a drove a ****-ton of aircraft rivets and my hands/forarms don't like holding a book for long and the iPad became a life saver. winters are long and dark up here ;)
When you guys posted the titles for those two books, I pulled out the iPad, turned on the wifi, typed Amazon in the browser, cut and pasted the titles from the Foro, and had them in my kindle all in all in about 45 seconds. Ive got my amazon set to 'one click" for books so I don't have to sign in etc.
It takes some getting used, its not a paper book, but I find the convince of it worth so much more then collecting paper on a shelf.
A lot of the obscure flamenco texts are not on kindle or other e formats. The gypsy book on another thread by the Flemish guy was though, but just the one.
Im guessing there are a bunch of older generation kindle devices or older iPads to be had for just a few dollars if one wanted to try it out?
After that Moose got me they put me on some pain meds and others for the nerve damage etc and for some reason I couldn't read, I just couldn't focus, it was really phuced up, bed bound for a year and then mostly so for another year and I couldn't read...
The Big Red Books in a digital format would be cool!

Its a shame we don't have much of a dance presence here and I won't say anything about the sausage party ;)
OMG that is so sexist.  
R,
I am a meat popsicle!
A couple years ago or so you linked a couple videos of a guy you play with, don't recall his name, I follow a couple lady dancers on the Insta. If ever there was an art form one must see live this is it, some beer or wine, and good friends,...
A few times Ive thought about some online classes as a way to forward the healing of my crushed foot. Perhaps you could convince your dancer friends to come over to the foro, you know convince them its about more then cabbage, and sausage.

In all honesty, they lurk. It was long ago the flamenco teacher foro, they were actively lurking. The dancer tried to rope me into it. They used to write out these arrogant diatribes criticizing everybody, then delete them before posting. Finally they got me involved due to my name being mentioned by people that did not know me personally. It was very diabolical honestly. Trust me…. You do not EVER want their kind actually participating here….NOT EVER I WARN!!!
😂
Ricardo don’t scare the boy too much. He’s in Bumfart Alaska and deals with rabid mad cow moose charges, surely he could handle guasa from a few dancers. I mean, what’s the difference?
EH,
Dancers are fun and all, but ultimately they talk about flamenco shoes as much as guitarists obsess on thumb nails. You’d get massive ten year long threads on trading dance shoes. *yawn*
Student dancers don’t listen to old cante… you’ll fight about that because they will get all mad and defensive if you put down any contemporary singer for being too ‘pop’ - the seasoned dancers who know what’s what usually don’t wade in to educate or steer dancers to study history because they make a living by attracting students. They can’t really be hard a&sed except in a class doing drills and working on technique.
Dancers who are mature artists with companies also have to bend the taste from hard core old fashioned cante to styles that will sell tickets, and mix that in with old fashioned stuff. They have to hit a balance of what the general public will buy and keep the knowledgeable aficionados engaged. People, mature artists, with that kind of responsibility usually are too busy or too wise to get embroiled in petty online disputes. Once in a while however one of them might take time to write a post clarifying an important point about flamenco, but usually those very knowledgeable dancers don’t say much online.
