Seriously Florian... what are you gonna say to JM? Are you gonna pretend he's "The Man" and you respect him a lot, or are you gonna be completely honest?
It will be interesting to see how you deal with this one...

I didn't know that! Makes sense though, when I think about it.
The last time Eliot came to Mainz not a bit of advertising was done so no tickets were sold. He still did the concert but was so pissed off that he'll probably never come back here again so I shall never see him

Is the Moon and Stars in some kind of alignment or something???
I was cooking the evening meal tonight and listening to the radio... I wasn't paying too much attention, since I was talking to my wife at the time. Suddenly, I thought I heard a Bulerias footwork rhythm. I turned the radio up. Sure enough..it was Bulerias taconeo...but not very good.
Suddenly the guitar came in...very scruffy and basic, like an amateur. My first instinct that this was maybe about British Flamenco amateur aficionados??...hmmm?
It really was pretty rough stuff, like the free entertainment you find in your cheap package holiday hotel in the Costa Brava.
The taconeo was mas o menos in rhythm. The guitar was horrible, really rough and amateurish
It only went on for a couple of minutes..
Then a voice over said that this was an excerpt from the current maestro Juan Martin's live concert!
I JEST YE NOT!!!
Jeezus, I've heard the guy on TV and Radio for about the past 25 years!
Does the guy ever practise???
Puts me in mind of a true story about a controverial Comedian who was accosted by an audience member after the show... He said "Your act stinks...You are racist, vulgar and not even funny...You are a complete and utter disgrace to comedy."
The Comedian replied...
"You should have told me that 10 years ago, mate....but at the moment I'm four and a half million pounds and a country estate on from then..."
cheers,
Ron

In anticipation of his upcoming fame through playing with the known masters of flamenco, Flo has been making publicity photos. I got ahold of one somehow, sorry about the quality.
