Steelhead -> OK I'm sorry!! (Apr. 9 2016 15:00:43)

My apologies to all those who reacted negatively to my post “being frank about flamenco,” which seemed to excoriate our art in the most vicious terms. It’s actually a quote from around 1800, by Spanish costumbrista write Don Preciso, presenting his thoughts about what was clearly pre-flamenco Andalusian music. The quote--which documents, in its way, the personal, highly dramatic style of singing--appears in several flamencological works, one of which I was just reading, so I thought some people would recognize it, and perhaps find its colorful language amusing. Oh well. Just forget it.

Can I come back now? I really do enjoy the foro and I learn a lot from all the posts of its knowledgeable members.

You weren't banned. Thanks for the explanation.

Like when some wise guy says "First we do, let's kill all the lawyers ."

When everyone in the room gets jittery he says "Relax, I was just quoting Shakespeare."

Yup, preface was needed hombre. Post a video of your favorite cante and all will be forgiven, from me at least.....

I actually kind of liked Steelheads initial post in the other. I found it funny. But I´m always on the wrong side when it comes to fun and jokes, so dont count me in.

And besides, I would never compare steelhead with bonehead... Isn´t Steelhead an American trout? (called Regnbueørred in danish)

A steelhead is an ocean running trout, like Atlantic salmon it doe not die at the end of the run, but returns to the sea.

I liked the part about the hand coming down like a mace upon the strings. That is how I play.



Cloth Ears -> RE: OK I'm sorry!! (Apr. 9 2016 18:16:45)

Well you fooled me. Good joke, well played. [;)]

The style of writing was kind of similar to the troll the other week, although maybe actually coherent. Should have checked your profile before posting.

Well for some reason as I said in my reply to his original post that I found him amazingly describing exactly what I like about Flamenco and middle eastern music, I just didn't know he was quoting someone else!



estebanana -> RE: OK I'm sorry!! (Apr. 10 2016 1:54:38)

Can the OP give a section of the original text in a photo or give the ISBN and catalog number of the book? Date of printing and publisher of that edition?

Some weird Basque concoction. The mill of the son of the farmer is all I can figure out.
Errotaco=mill
Echecojaun= farm owner
aren= mark of singular possesive case
seme=son

Anyone speak Basque??



Leñador -> RE: OK I'm sorry!! (Apr. 10 2016 19:46:16)

Good work! Much further than I got. Basque huh? I'll continue researching from there.....
