Todd –

It's extremely interesting to hear differing opinions on different players. I am presently writing a book on the history of flamenco guitar, and I'm trying to do something a little different here. I plan to interview guitarists and include contemporary commentary and opinions by people who play flamenco guitar about famous guitarists. It would be very helpful to me if you could explain what you feel was awful about that Bulerias. That's exactly the kind of commentary about today's guitarists that I hope to include in my book, along with contemporary thought about famous guitarists of the past, which would bring a fresh perspective on those guitarists. I think it will be something different and unusual.

Thanks –
