Nigel, Get a grip. There's a forum out there (I call it the 'Dead Flamencos Society' because they think the only good flamenco is a dead flamenco) where several members passionately hate Paco de Lucia and what he's done to the flamenco guitar. They bash him relentlessly whenever they get a chance. They worship Diego del Gastor, so other posters bash DdG just to aggravate the DdG worshippers. Then the insults and death threats start flying, and on and on. My point is - So what? Who cares if somebody doesn't like a guitarist that you like? It sounds as if you know this Juan Martin personally, so it may be a little hard to listen to harsh criticism. The best you can do is hold your ground, defend your position, and ultimately agree to disagree. I think leaving the forum over a disagreement about personal taste is a bit extreme. Stick around, every once in a while somebody posts something interesting, and you wouldn't want to miss that , would you? Phil
