I hate that when that happens!!!!

My clumsy fingers hit something on the key board that I wasn't supposed to and it posted my message without my finishing it.

Anyway... after you have pulled up "Siento" on Miguel's website, you can then sample his music by clicking on the titles on the right side of the page.

No doubt some of you more efficient computer users are probably saying to yourself, "Dah... no kidding", well I'm still struggling with Microsoft Word, so please bear with me.

So why don't you guys check out Miguel's new CD and give us some feed back.

Thanks in advance,

Michael

PS: Hey Simon... I love these smiley faces... Nice job.

Michael, I have always had lots of respect for Miguel i have heard both albums and liked them very much i cannot remember exact details but i remember that i enjoyed his music very much and his technical abilities.

Are you involved with his company ? or a friend ?

Florian,

Miguel is a personal friend of mine. I wished I was tallented enough to be a part of his company but that isn't the case. Not by a long, long shot.

Miguel recently sent me a copy of his latest CD, Siento, for my birthday and I think it's absolutely fabulous. I know you would think I feel that way because we are friends, but that isn't so. Miguel just happens to be one of those rare individuals that is uniquely gifted and I feel his tallent should be shared with those who are not familiar with him.

Anyone who has met Miguel also knows he's one of the most likeable people and you can't help but enjoy his company. He's extrememly humble, polite and down to earth and if you were to just meet him one time, you would walk away thinking you had known him all your life. I guess that's all part of the reason why I'd like to see his latest CD to become a big seller.

When you purchase Siento, you can play it on your computer and you'll be in for a special treat. The CD has been enhanced with a video of Carmen and her company as well as excerps from el Cambio. The entire production is just an absolute work of art.

I think another reason why I'm so pleased with this CD is because Miguel is at heart, a very strict purist when it comes to flamenco, and I'm glad to see him display his talents in some of the modern areas as well.

Saludos,
Michael
