Hi Sean, Please let me know, what is a Juerga assistant? sounds like you organise the parties but I'm sure that can't be right. I see you live in Cadiz, great town. I was there last year and here's my story: I stayed in Cadiz (Playa) last May when I was over for the Celtic game in Seville. Rather than drink the evening away, I talked a few of my pals into going to 'El Cava' in Cadiz town. The Waiter wouldn't let us in and said it was for serious Flamenco, I don't have Spanish so I just rhymed off, Buleria, solea, tientos etc.... and he showed us to a table. The flamenco was great with a young cantaor with huge voice, two good dancers (one was ment to have won some national competition for new young talent - she was really good) and a wiz guitarist playing all the new licks. After the show and a few vino tintos later, my pal, Johnnie, told the waiter I was going to play guitar, the waiter gave me the 'set' guitar which was sitting on a chair on the stage and left me with it to tune up. It was a shocker and after about 10 minutes I realised that part of the problem was the strings went into the wrong tunners. I was invited onto the stage and started some Tangos, the waiter came over from the bar and took the guitar off me and gave me better guitar. I remember saying something like, 'this is for my friends and dear ol' glasgow celtic' then I played granaina and then a tangos, the waiter brought over a glass of wine and it was just a great experience. Playing wasn't great but everyone seemed to find it quite surreal that this guy from Scotland had just turned up and played guitar. We got gubbed the following evening in that baking oven over in Seville. Cheers Jim.
