Ron.M -> RE: Escudero left us on Friday (Nov. 23 2004 21:28:11)

A sobering piece of news Estela.
I would have said "sad", but that would just have been PC since I didn't know the man personally.
I'm sure you know what I mean nevertheless.
When I heard Sabicas died, I thought about a lot.
That these hands that could bring much life to a guitar, were sadly now motionless.
This was not like money or property, or something that he could leave to his family, but died with him.
This is what we have to respect about human beings, the "non tangibile" things that some of them bring in to this world through hard work and belief in themselves.
Things which cannot be directly passed on through heritage, but is passed on to the larger world, to those who have ears to listen and be inspired by their work.
Mario Escudero is certainly a giant in the world of Flamenco guitar.
And his memory will still live on, long after we have all shaken off this mortal coil!
As someone who buried my mother this year, please convey my greatest respects to his family in their sad time.
Ron
