heavymellow -> Hello from Santa Barbara, California (Jan. 6 2013 2:03:14)

I just wanted to introduce myself to this fantastic forum. My name is Vincent, and I actually have been a member for some time, but not really the "social" forum type of person.
I have posted a few guitars for sale in the Classified, but what really struck me was when a member posted something about people just selling guitars and not participating in the forum.
I realized that this place is such a fantastic resource for learning Flamenco, with some really amazing players here, that I should honor it as well - actually give what little I know.
For the past 10+ years I have stumbled along this art, making a trip to Jerez & Seville, seeing Jeronimo Maya at Casa Patas in Madrid (blew my mind) and Southern France with the Gypsies of Camargue.
I love it all - the traditional old school, the modern players, and the Bailiardo & Reyes (Gipsy Kings Families). All of it has something to offer one that is immersing themselves in this art. I actually was in Alexandria, Virginia and caught a show by forum member Ricardo Marlow at Las Tapas.
So, from Santa Barbabra, California - hello and I look forward to 2013 and more Flamenco!! Saludos!

It feels strange to welcome someone who joined the foro years before i did but... greetings from holland :-)

Just like you i love it all....i saw Jeronimo in the netherlands when he was 15 years old...pretty amazing indeed.

Thanks Erik -
Yes - I have been a member but not really the "active" social type for forums. I would visit from time to time.
I have devoted this year to traditional playing and thought I should interact more.
2012 was a great year - I saw Vicente Amigo in March, and PACO in April. Both fantastic to say the least.



Erik van Goch -> RE: Hello from Santa Barbara, California (Jan. 6 2013 4:44:13)

I happen to have met Vicente in the netherlands as well when he was 15...i believe i even new him before Paco did :-) Both are indeed superb players.

I think we were at the same show, Redondo Beach?



heavymellow -> RE: Hello from Santa Barbara, California (Jan. 6 2013 5:29:10)

Yes - Redondo Beach. Fantastic show.
I actually got to meet him after - kind of a meet and greet. Interesting that his right hand had barely any nails - super short.
Backstage all the LA players were there - Adam Del Monte, Jose Tanaka, Farah fro Strunz & Farah, and I am sure others.
Vicente was great!

Nice to meet you Vincent. I wonder if you know my flute playing friend Rebecca Kleinnman.. or her compatriots that include Dusty Brough, Eva Scow, etc..

Nice to meet you.

Hi Brian -
I know rebecca very little. We spoke a few times and was vry nice.
I am really digging into the traditional playing this year - especially interested in the Moran style of Diego.
Does your username suggest that you play that style?

It's Morón style, he was from the Morón area.



heavymellow -> RE: Hello from Santa Barbara, California (Jan. 10 2013 18:03:54)

Yes ..I know. My typing/spelling feature is a bit dull today.



turnermoran -> RE: Hello from Santa Barbara, California (Jan. 10 2013 18:23:40)

I'm not so into the Moron thing.
Moran..Moron. just a coincidece [:D]

Anyone else came to this thread thinking the title would be "Hello from Santa Claus"? (click on "Home" then you will understand).
Im a little bit disappointed right now [:D]
