I owe a great deal to Paco, our local maestro of flamenco guitar in the D.C. area. He had alzheimer's and passed only weeks after his wife the dancer Ana Martinez.

When I retired from the US Foreign Service, I decided I would learn to play flamenco guitar, and Paco took me on as a student when he still owned the Guitar Gallery on Connecticut Ave. in Washington, DC. I learned a lot from Paco, not only flamenco technique, but the history of flamenco, its origins, and the greats of the genre. My wife and I became good friends with Paco and Ana, and they particularly liked conversing with my Brazilian wife, as they both spent many years in Brazil before moving to the US.

DEP Paco.

I found the recording I made of this Alegrias Paco de Málaga composed for Ramon in 2009, transcribed by Stuart Paine, mentioned here:

I plan on releasing it sometime soon, just waiting on Paco's son to dig up an old photo for me of Paco and Ramon together that I want to use as a sort of video montage with the audio running behind it, as a dedication. I learned so much I remember after learning that. Paco gave the CD I made to Paco de Lucia as a gift of remembrance. As far as I know only myself and PDM and PDL have ever heard it. He said many falsetas were those taught to both of them as kids by Ramon and his father Antonio. So stay tuned.
