Is the Moon and Stars in some kind of alignment or something??? I was cooking the evening meal tonight and listening to the radio... I wasn't paying too much attention, since I was talking to my wife at the time. Suddenly, I thought I heard a Bulerias footwork rhythm. I turned the radio up. Sure enough..it was Bulerias taconeo...but not very good. Suddenly the guitar came in...very scruffy and basic, like an amateur. My first instinct that this was maybe about British Flamenco amateur aficionados??...hmmm? It really was pretty rough stuff, like the free entertainment you find in your cheap package holiday hotel in the Costa Brava. The taconeo was mas o menos in rhythm. The guitar was horrible, really rough and amateurish It only went on for a couple of minutes.. Then a voice over said that this was an excerpt from the current maestro Juan Martin's live concert! I JEST YE NOT!!! Jeezus, I've heard the guy on TV and Radio for about the past 25 years! Does the guy ever practise??? [:D] Puts me in mind of a true story about a controverial Comedian who was accosted by an audience member after the show... He said "Your act stinks...You are racist, vulgar and not even funny...You are a complete and utter disgrace to comedy." The Comedian replied... "You should have told me that 10 years ago, mate....but at the moment I'm four and a half million pounds and a country estate on from then..." cheers, Ron
