ORIGINAL: Howard I've seen a lot of people on here who think they are pretty good. Let me ask you this: if you are so good, then list your attributes here. Why are you so good? What makes you so good. I would think a simple one two three format would be enough. 1. I am good beause I think so. 2. I am good because I won an award. 3. I am good becoause I have recorded a record. Number 4, I think i am pretty good, but my humility precludes me from sayiing that I am a superstud guitar player. Number 5, I am not good, and do no pretened to be. Therefore, I should resign from this forum Number 6, And I am unhappy I ever subscribed to this forum. Number 7, I suck, and have never pretended to play the guitar. Why am I here? Let me tell you, Howard, I am good, I am so goood that I can barely make it through the day. I am so good that when I took a lark of a trip to Spain and ended up in Andalucia I was taken in by a gypsy family. Even though they were all Flamencos and totally steeped in the song [cante], dance [baile], and guitar - accompaniment & solo [toque], they did not try to teach me anything! Why, you ask? Because they wanted me to teach them! They insisted that I extend my visit way beyond my planned time table and I became as one of their own. We sang, we danced, and we played for our own enjoyment and we performed at local and regional juergas. And then ... and then ... my darned alarm went off and I had to get up and fix breakfast and get into the day. But, each day after all of my chores and obligations are taken care of I get to spend a few hours playing the guitar and basking in the delightful sounds that come out of this magnificent instrument as I do my best to sound as Flamenco as I was in my dream. Then I drift off to sleep hoping to once again spend some delightful time with my Gypsy family in Spain. Doog
