Escribano -> RE: A quick Hola from Jerez (Mar. 9 2004 14:01:30)

I forgot my MD recorder [:(] but got some great little video clips of later events at the peña, including a very intimate late hour session with the Moneo family, the young son accompanying his father, Manuel, the grandson of another Manuel. Last night Estela and I cooked paella we had some folks around for a juerga, including our new cantaor buddie, Jaimie who teaches cante and cajon here. He sings with Moraito occasionally. He gave Emma, Fergus and me some free lessons the other day. I got a few video snips of a bulerias and beautiful soleares from our supper. Jaimie and Estela singing with Fergus and Melchor accompanying, drunk [;)] I got a touch of duende last night and get goosebumps thinking about it now. Like all good flamencos, the police had to come around and break us up about 2:30am[:o] I must, I must find a singer, it all makes sense with a singer leading the way. Tomatito tonight, on to peña Los Cernicalos and bed by 6am, tomorrow is the last day of the festival with a trio of cantaores at peña Los Cernicalos again. Gives me two days to recover and get out of these vampire hours. I really am scratching the surface of flamenco and this experience but I will try and write it up when I get back. Wish you were all here with us. ¿Maybe in September? A Jere´!
