Cloth Ears -> RE: Chilean Mine Rescue (Oct. 13 2010 19:56:58)

I have been improving my spanish all day while enjoying each 'T T T' signifying the return of another missing miner... ...I touched Vicente's Zapateado in celebration of the first, my own Zapa. for the next... [:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D] --------------- Funny thing is that I started on my own Taranta this weekend having listened to Tomatito's one from 10 years ago ,, and having really enjoyed its toque libre (as opposed to the structured TarantO). Anyway, I was chatting to my partner on skype and whittering away trying to name this piece this afternoon having forgotten that: Saturday night it was called "Taranta del Arachnidas", which I wrote at 5am in in my repertoire list file. It was only as the miners were lifted that I thought I would check that my ageing memory hadn't got the better of me: http://onlineguitaracademy.com/flamenco-guitar-lesson-articles/forms-toques/tarantos-and-tarantas.html ...which reafirmed that Taranta IS toque libre. Imagine my surprise when I read again after 5 years that Taranta originates in the Spanish mining belt and of course: TARANTULA. [sm=tongue.gif][sm=Smiley Guitar.gif][sm=lol.gif]
