Passing the news on from his brother who contacted me. Stan was a known to many people in the US, Spain, Japan and Korea as a good solid flamenco player who could accompany cante. Evidently he committed suicide, but I have no details. Stan visited me in Japan twice as he was living in Korea teaching English. It’s very sad, he was a fine player. He had a severe drinking problem. He didn’t try to contact me, but a few years ago asked me to delete the video I made of him on my YouTube channel. Thus might be the only document of him playing. I’m very sorry fir his family, I had always hoped he’d get it together. Suicide is especially hard on survivors in families, watch your friends and family and take the steps to get help to at risk https://youtu.be/lkcrqBwQ3nI
