Grisha -> RE: Paco de Lucia honoured at Berklee College (Mar. 30 2010 9:39:31)

I think if anybody deserves that degree in flamenco, it surely must be Paco de Lucia. They do know about flamenco in Berklee, and they do understand where Paco stands in comparison to the others. I began studying at the New England Conservatory (1/4 mile away from Berklee) in 2000 and did not take a break until now. I just passed my exit exams and have a thesis to write to complete my Doctor of Musical Arts degree. In these years, even being a very good student I was, have I learned 1/1000 of what Paco knows about guitar and music? Yes, probably, but just. If I can get that degree with my pathetic knowledge, Paco is 1000 times more deserving of it. Although, it will not impact his life at all, but it could make a huge difference in mine. I might just get a job somewhere in a state college and start making some money. That's all I need from this degree.
