ORIGINAL: Ron However I read some discussions on other Forums about him being English, so I was just curious. I wasn't questioning the "authenticity" of his playing or anything. No worries Ron, I think I'm a bit tetchy at the mo - Dylan has been keeping us awake at nights and I am completely shattered. Sleep deprivation drives me nuts. Shame really, as I have some great news, but I'm too grumpy to spill the beans at the moment. Just for the record, I don't think Juan is a particularly stella player, but I do think he knows his stuff as Grant says. I think Juan has contributed hugely to flamenco by way of his tuition materials, rather than as a player. It looks like he does gloss over his early British upbringing in his bio, and emphasise his Spanish credentials, but who wouldn't? He's pretty shrewd at the marketing side of things - good luck to him. He was certainly in the right place at the right time when it came to the british market and capitalised on it. Jon PS Guitar Player used to have Juan Serrano up there in their top three as well, I believe.
