Ramón -> RE: Diego del Gastor? (Feb. 8 2006 2:38:15)

I was quite lucky in meeting an older guy who lived in Spain for a very long time, and he'd compiled a lot of old black & white footage of Diego; home movies, early Spanish TV footage, Specials, etc., and put it all into a DVD. The soundtrack is slightly off at times, but good enough to watch Diego play and to be able to figure out some of his falsettas, however, his sheer enjoyment while playing for those around him is addictive - and what real flamenco guitar is all about. I am much more impressed by simplicity, perfect compas' for accompañamiento, and just sweet, Gypsy flamenco! Wish I could have experienced Spain and flamenco in the late 50's and early 60's.......wow... I think any publication with tabs, music, etc., of any of Diego's work is well worth it! Ramón
