I came across this photograph which eloquently illustrates how it all started for me [40 yrs ago, now] in those days.... when necessity mothered industry:

I appreciate your correction, Mark. However, this now proverbial aphorism recites: Mater artium necessitas. It was loosely translated into that often awkward ecumenic English that permeates much of the older Greek and Roman literature, as 'Necessity, who is the mother of invention'.

I borrowed the garb of Winston Churchill [the History of the English Speaking Peoples] to shift to a simpler syntax, by elevating the noun [mother] to verb [mothers], and by replacing 'invention' with a more descriptive word, industry. This rendition is more coherent, because it preserves the grammatical economy of Latin, while being more respectful of the true meaning of the original word Art[ium] -which indeed describes 'Industry'.

But, if it pleases your ear, you can call it 'Solea por Buleria'… [:)]

I like that it's a "Linux" Cejilla as well, so it's likely Open Source and free
to copy. As opposed to proprietary, and copyrighted.

¡Olé GJ!

Reminds me of a story my great friend José Millán told me of practising as a child with Pedro Bancalero, another great gaditano cantaor, beneath the arches of La Caleta. Their guitarrist had no cejilla, so when Perico sang, José put his finger on the appropriate fret, and vice versa.

Those were the days when flamenco was flamenco and not everybody had an orange Conde or even enough to eat. Nowadays, even the arches of the Caleta have been filled in with sand. [:D]

I appreciate your correction


it wasn't a correction, it was a question, because i didn't know if it was a error or intentional.... i am only familiar with the phrase in English usage, not whatever latin or greek it may have originally derived from.

How gentlemanly and scholarly an exchange; thank you Mark. And yet -on parallell threads- some suggest that 'flamencos' are not sufficiently sophisticated to appreciate nuances and subtleties ... the temerity...!!

I must add, on that note, that I am inclined to diagnose that anyone devoted to learn or understand Flamenco, is one who knows the nuances of pain and that he then murmurs into his notes.

Sadly, it is War that is the Mother of Invention.

Well, it is a sad but true corollary to the famous proverb, as a few things will cause us to be in such a state of dire 'necessity' as war-time does.
