Me? Loner. Not litterally now, but the personality as refered too, yeah that is me. Since being married and into flamenco, I party all the time, play almost nightly with others, make contacts around the world, do social gatherings, etc. But what I have found is myself in the company of other LONERS, if that makes sense. The co-misery that these people feel together is an amazing feeling. In terms of flamenco and music, I have communicated with others very deeply, without even having a common verbal language in some cases. All these deep feelings I find typically in the loner type personalities. My best friend is a Bolivian Indian. He talked about music in the Andes with his people, a collective harmony, where everyone must contribute his little part to the collective social musical sound. What attracted him to flamenco was the individuality. He identified with it, the fact that yeah, there is a small group working together, but the individuals could all be independent, each strong on his own. You would not say in his culture "ole tu, you over there you are doing great!", which is what happens to each member of a flamenco group. It is not just the internet, tons of personalities are online. People into flamenco tend to be those loner types. Even in Spain. Ricardo
