Mark, consider this: when you know more than someone, it's easy to see how much they know. But when you think someone knows more than you, how do you know they know? Estela 'Zata' [/quote] I was refering to people I know personally, those who I've seen perform, played with, or, as in the case with Brook Zern, I know from his posts that he has a lot of experience. For example, his extensive knowledge of recordings tells me that he has spent a lot of time listening to flamenco. And I'll never forget his description of the playing of Pepe Motos, a guitarist I've never heard, who, based on his account , was a great player. John Moore wrote a very fine post on the different kinds of aficianados and what kinds of knowledge they have, from senoritos to guitarists to singers, etc. I think that if you can wade through the personal BS, one can learn from these different kinds of people, if you have enough experience to know what is legit and what is BS.

Hi Mark, I've been trying to pin Emilio down to take a listen to the group jams, but it's not that easy, plus the language difference means I would have to translate everything, so right now its unlikely. We're having a very busy time since the CD was released, Emilio is playing most nights either accompanying or solo. Over the next few months we have shows booked in England, Germany, Belgium, Prague, Vienna and already started booking next year. And maybe even a US trip, I'll let everyone here know when/if it's confirmed. Whereabouts are you ? Kate

Hi Kate, I'm not trying to be coy, but I was unable to sign on using my former screen name, which was MartinC, because I couldn't remember my password, and I had changed e-mail addresses, so, because many people call me Mark, I created a new screen name that I can hopefully remember. As you may recall, I live near San Francisco. I still listen to my Taller CD sometimes-it's held up very well to repeated listenings. I think I've posted enough about flamenco disc, so I'll drop that business. I'm happy to see that you and Harold have produced another CD. I certainly understand why an artist such as Emilio is too busy to post on an internet forum, but still hope the day comes when pros can contribute and round out the discussions and add some much needed expertise to various topics. Many recording artists in other fields of music monitor their web sites and respond to fans directly. I'm not aware of any flamencos that do, but I think the day is coming when some will.

Hi Martin, Of course I remember you. Hows the home studio and are you still gigging ? Glad you're still enjoying the Taller CD. And Yeah I have no wish to talk about flamenco Disc either. I just donrt see the point of making enemies online, sort of defeats the object. I 'm just glad we have a civilised forum here, and that the fenix and Dacner forums seem to be going strong without flame wars, but this one is definitely the most active, thanks to Simon and the audio uploads and jam sessions. One day I'll get Emilio involved in a discussion. He's coming round to the idea slowly and always asks if he has any emails, since I set up an account for him. We could arraneg a time and do say an hour of questions and answers. We could have invited guests, as long as there is always someone with them to translate. I think it would attract a lot of people to the forum and help sell some CDs. Talking of which, his new CD will be available soon, like next week, from CDBaby.com Harold just went of to the States to make an album ( no not flamenco) and took a box with him. It will save on postage for US buyers. So far I think Scott is the only one in America from this forum to have a copy ! But I'd love to know what everyone thinks. Its getting very well received here and has been favourably compared to both Paco and Tomatito's latest. What more could we ask Cheers Kate
