Nuñez taught us that falseta and said it is from Javier Molina, the father of the jerez school of guitar. Parrilla and Morao are from that school, probably all like "brothers" to each other when it comes to flamenco. Ricardo, I guess I assumed it was Parrilla's because I heard him play it first on earlier recording. And you know what they say about assuming. [;)] A while back I posted Manuel Morao playing what most people would consider a classic Diego del Gastor bulerias falseta (I don't know if it was this forum or another). The recording was made in the '50s. So the question is did Morao get it from Gastor or vice versa or did they both get it from a 3rd source? At the end of the day it really doesn't make any difference, but I find it somewhat interesting. The Morao brothers learned directly from Molina. Parrilla from Rafael del Aguila who had been a student of Molina. Gerardo Nuñez also took lessons from Rafael, but he must have been very young, as Rafael died in 1976 or 77. Rafael del Aguila was somewhat 'eccentric'. I had the opportunity to meet him and take some lessons from him in 1975. The next time you go to Nuñez's seminar, ask him to tell you about Rafael. Other students of Rafael's were Paco Cepero, the Jero brothers, Fernando Moreno, and probably just about every Jerez guitarist over 50. Phil
