That's pretty good Flo. Maybe we need a poll to determine how many people practice with the TV turned on. I know I do and probably wouldn't be interested in practicing in total silence--it's just too tedious. So maybe TV is an essential item for flamenco like palmas and cante.

Seems as though your musical career is going well since you can buy the things you want. Enjoy!

When I get a house, I'm bypassing the boring TV thing altogether. Instead I'm hooking up a ceiling-mounted projector and using an entire wall as my TV screen! You think a 52"is big? Try a 150"! Oh yeaaa
