While you guys were bitching
My girlfriend, whom I met when she was selling eggs on the camino, broke my heart this last week. Don't worry, I have friends and neighbours (amigos y vecinos are incredibly important down here) so I will be all right but I wish I could sing flamenco.
Sod the solo guitar, it means nothing to me, except for "Mi Tierra" by Pepe Habichuela (someone who doesn't get much of mention here, but a Granadino and a master nonetheless).

RE: While you guys were bitching (in reply to Miguel de Maria)
Thanks Miguel, you are one my virtual amigos, no? Boy are we going to have a drink one day I even learned the first page of "Mi Tierra" (sort of) for her, but she doesn't like flamenco, jeez what was I thinking?

Simon, learn "Hondo" by Habichuela..... that one will be for you at 3 AM during a moment of reflection and solitude. It's too bad that he doesn't get much mention. Some of his pieces are on a whole other level in terms of art, reflection and solace.
Take it easy friend, your amigos will always lend a hand.

My commiserations, Simon. I do hope you won't let it get you down too much. Although I seem to remember you saying something about a young lady with a broken down car that was keen on you. Maybe there is some consolation to be had there?
