RobF knows maestro Díaz quite well, so perhaps he can clarify this.
What is it with the lotteries there? I was was bugging a friend of mine about how much he and his brother spend on tickets at €20 a pop, which they buy all over the place and with alarming frequency. His explanation was winter was coming so there’d be less work and therefore he was going to need the money!! Financial planning 101. [8|]
I don’t really know the older Diaz that well, more just in passing from popping in on him whenever I visit. I know his two sons better. Both are good makers with their own shops (Victor is quite creative, has interesting ideas, and does very clean work). My friend Jack, who is a guitar maker in Georgia, is a lot closer to the family and would likely know for sure. I’ve also heard the stories that the father has won more than once.
Must be something in the water in the Realejo. Some kind of lucky mineral or the like. I expect our John Ray is due for his windfall any day now…
