He's knowledgeable about flamenco, often around and as far as I can tell very "stable". LOL! Tenshu, pero no es verdad on both accounts! [:D] I'm sorry ichbintoll's left...he sounded like a good player. However he's a classic case of somebody taking himself too seriously IMO. Also, it seems he didn't take time to at least find out who guitarists like Todd, Ricardo, Errol, Henrik etc were, or the general mood and style of the Forum....he just dived in. He said he was lucky enough to live in a place in Germany with lots of great guitarists and singers and dancers, so obviously he sees the Forum as comprised of a bunch of wanabee tossers... wheras he and his friends are where the real action is. Good luck to him, but personally, I think that's a pretty closed view on the world myself. Hence my comments about those who feel themselves above such a thing as an amateur flamenco guitar forum... then why not try your hand out at the "big boy's" stuff, like trying to get a job in one of the Madrid tablaos and find out where you really stand? However, on Todd's forum, somebody mentioned that there are good guitarists sitting playing in the street for a couple of euros from the passing public, so I guess the competition is gonna be pretty tough....[;)] My final thoughts are, what's wrong with just being another guitarist...without all this hierarchical crap? Why not just enjoy learning and playing for it's own sake? Any of the professionals I've been lucky enough to meet have always been very generous in their praise of other players and have always been pretty easy going guys. Why do folk get themselves so uptight about things?...[8|] cheers Ron
