Good call Grisha, theres a saying here that i think is appropriate. 'He who tries to please everyone, pleases no one'. If anything the turn of events latley has highlighted the divide between so called 'traditionalists' and so called 'modernists'. This is nothing new or unique to flamenco, you will find this in almost every walk of life, profession and especially artforms. O.k i admit most of my posts im just joking around and not being serious at all, this one i am. What is traditional? What is modern? We consider players like Nino Josele, Ramon Jimanez etc as modern. We consider players like Sabicas etc as traditional. But wasnt Sabicas modern in his time and will players like Nino Josele be considered traditional in 50 years? Its sad that people get so offended when someone holds a different view from them( it can be entertaining at the time, but when the dust settles and the bodycount begins its very sad) I dont have an answer to the divide between old school and new school, maybe both 'sides' need to consider the fact that no single person holds the definative answer to the 'right way' of doing things, except maybe Paco[:D] who i might add, has played both very 'traditional' and very 'modern' in his career. just a thought[8|] as Grisha says, Peace![:)]
