CíclopePomposo -> Hello from California! (Jun. 1 2013 22:36:12)

Greetings, all. [:)] I'm Joel, just another over-tall, over-fed white guy who loves flamenco, born and bred in California.
The sounds of flamenco have been echoing inside my skull probably since before I can remember. PDL's Luzia really got me bitten by the flamenco bug, and ever since I've relished every bit of audio, video and text about flamenco that I could find. As a guitar player since age 12, my main interest is in the toque; but since my skill is but mediocre and I lack an actual guitarra flamenca (thankfully, I do have a Spanish-built classical guitar which I fitted with golpeadores and on which I use flamenco strings), my efforts are more towards composing than playing. I also love the cante (my favorite cantaor is Fosforito) and the concentrated pathos of flamenco's lyrics; I studied Spanish mainly so as to be able to write letras of my own.
Muchas gracias in advance to all who have contributed and who continue to contribute to this forum, from which I'm sure I'll be learning so much.
