Paul Magnussen -> A question for older British (& maybe Spanish) readers (Sep. 5 2014 18:07:01)
Does anyone remember a flamenco guitarist called Ricardo Cortés? He played a soleá one of the episodes of Roger Moore’s Saint TV series (The Golden Journey, from 1962), but I can discover no further trace of him.

Hi Paul, Does he sing too? If I am not mistaken (!), a few months ago I met some one with that name who played and sang along to his playing. An elderly guy in late 60s smartly dressed (old fashioned), not too tall? A

He didn’t sing in the Saint episode, but could be. The age would be about right… Where was this, if I may ask?

OMG ...when i read this i think I remember that episode .. of Roger Moore and a girl in a kind of tavern and the guy playing with his foot up on a chair ... and the girl spoke or said something and then the Saint apologized for her .. and said something like ''sorry that she was talking when you were playing, she doesnt understand that you were expressing you art''' or something like that .... was hat he episode ... ?/ sorry i cant help with your real question though ....[8\|]

Hi Paul, To be precise, it was on February 23rd at the Troubadour; a Juerga to pay tribute to Ron Hitchins. Paco Pena was there and played too. A

quote: was hat he episode Yes, that was the episode. The original Leslie Charteris story featured a hike from Innsbruck through the Brenner Pass into Italy; after the fashion of TV scriptwriters, they changed the location to Spain. In the book, Belinda is mildly spoilt; in the TV episode, she‘s such a pig that she’d never have reached her 20s without being strangled. But it did give Sr. Cortés the chance to do his thing. OK, he wouldn’t have given Paco de Lucía any sleepless nights; but the 60s is when I was learning, and I'm curious as to why I’d never even heard of him.

amazing .. i only saw it once and yet it remained with me al these years .... the only other TV flamenco i remember was in the Pink Panther when inspector Jacques Clouseau was to be assassinated in a flamenco night club ...strangley enough i was watching it once in Cordoba in my freinds flat and he went to the toilet , but when he came back it was just on the flamenco bit and he said .... Oh you changed channels .. '' no it's still the pink panther ... ' and he looked a bit strangely at the telly for a while to see if i was trying to fool him or not .. sorry for the thread hijack ... but i looked it up ...

Not bad, but the music somehow seems to go out of compás half way through…

Ricardo -> RE: A question for older British (& maybe Spanish) readers (Sep. 7 2014 15:32:45)
When they zoom in on clouseau and the girl the phrase goes...7,8,9,10,11,12, /3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 etc. I am sure it is a studio edit so it all matches up with the video footage.
