SI SI SI he aprendido mucho con libros en mi cama todos las noches, knowing me it probably didn't help a bit - oooooooooooooolé!

You bet I'm fired up - can't wait! Which courses are you all in who are going? I hope it wasn't too self-confident of me to sign up for the master's course. I figured better surrounded by people better than me - unless of course everyone else thought the same way I did

I'm flying into Jerez as well Friday evening. Guess I'll be taking the bus too then if there is one. I got a single room at Los Helechos. I hope there's a little fridge in the room and that they don't mind me bringing groceries in, wasn't planning on spending too much there to be honest...

Oh cerveza is a big part of the grocery shopping!

I'm going with Air Berlin. if there's no bus I'll go with a taxi, I guess.

I'm sure there'll be enough to learn there anyways, still I'll be bringing all the good music and books I haven't had a chance to look into/transcribe yet. AND I wanna come home with some of my own material. I'll be making this one intense week for myself...

Same for me and so eloquently put.

Errol(flamencoguru) is there right now and I believe will be at the class as well. He is conducting some more interviews on my behalf as well for La Falseta. Some really good stuff but for now, the interviewee's are a secret.

yes, they allow people to audio record. I would say it's quite necessary if you wish to memorize at least something because he teaches a lot over the course of the week!

It sounds great Henry. What level would you say the course is at? How long you been playing?

Good question, I was wondering that myself. I'm sure there is something to gain by players of all levels, but to take the biggest advantage of the lessons offered, I would assume that a certain level should be attained before attempting these classes?
