Terrific, thanks for the corrections and additions, Norman! I figured there’d be any number of errors in there and a duplicate or two, but I wasn’t really seeing straight by the time I wrapped everything up. I’ll get your corrections squared away and added soon. Pastora’s ‘peines’ tangos wasn’t something I had considered at first, but then I realized that it kept popping up in every book I have with letras in it, so I figured that it had become something that others had picked up in homage. But I suppose it’s just famous for being famous in an historical way. And I knew there had to be some kind of back door into searching for specific words on the letra site, but I don’t know how to work this damn machine and couldn’t figure it out[:@], so thank for that tip! I’m still thinking to organize this stuff a little better into a single list and I’m curious if anyone out there feels strongly one way or another about how this could best be done. So far I’ve just been trying to list a letra, a style that it’s (not necessarily exclusively) associated with, and a couple few singers who have recorded it or are associated with it. Maybe that’s about as good as it’s going to get for now. Like I said, the “definitive,” “top 200,” etc., language was tongue in cheek, and I’m thinking that the most this sort of list is going to be able to offer, so far as I'm able to put it together, is to just lay out a number of solid clues and leads for people to pursue on their own. So at some point I think I’ll just roughly organize stuff by style, in the same letra/style/singer fashion, and then put an asterisk or some other footnote sort of notation by the letras that have been discussed in more detail within this thread or elsewhere in the archives, so people can dig a little deeper if they wanna. At some point further discussion of stuff that’s really locked into one letra/cante association, ‘Me llamo Curro Frijones’, and stuff that’s all over the place and sung por any old style would be interesting and valuable, but that’s definitely over my head for now. Thanks for the help, guys!
