everglades -> Saludos and an introduction (Jul. 11 2011 0:40:31)

Hello everyone.
My name is Fernando and I have been lurking around these forums for over a year now. I wanted to introduce myself and at the same time thank you all for all the valuable information you have shared. This forum has helped de-mystify flamenco to some extent and give me the encouragement to stick to it after what seems to be very slow measured progress.
I have been taken private lessons in NYC for about 1.5 years and just recently joined a small group lesson for some additional practice. I also will be attending a 2 week workshop in Granada this august which I'm really looking forward to. The thought of two weeks away from NY, work, family and the daily hustle seems magical to me a this point.
I was born and raised in norther Spain but in fortunately it was in a region with little flamenco influence or scene. I remember my sisters taking flamenco dance when they were little but there was little offered to young boys in term of dance, guitar or cante, which is a bummer. It seems that early exposure would have made a huge difference. Right now I live in norther NJ with my wife and 2 kids and work in NYC.
Thank you all for all the valuable information on this forum and hope to some day be able to contribute in a meaningful way.
Fernando
