Talking like what was described above will get you tossed out of town, tossed out of the residency program or laughed out of town--or all of the above.

You think?

So he should go Howdy Pardner! instead?

The reason it has not made it is because FPD - Flamenco Personality Disorder, has not been properly described yet. Every time a researcher does a study they lose the data because they got drunk at the juerga.

San Antonio

Man...when I was in Dallas we went down to San Anton to visit the Alamo.

We were sitting in a cafe when in came two Policemen and sat down and ordered a coffee each.

They must have been 6ft 4" each and weighed maybe 220- 240lbs with big beer bellies hanging over their gunbelts which held the biggest handguns I've ever seen in my life.

Buzzcut all the way up the neck and head and wearing leather jerkins.

Beautiful town!

But the meanest looking cops I've ever seen anywhere!

cheers,

Ron

That's nothing, the cops in San Diego wear riot gear when patroling the beach.
Usually big mean looking cops are not mean, it's the short ones that worry me.

If EVERYONE has the disorder, is it still a disorder.

WELCOME RAMZI. Hope you do well there. Enjoy the music scene. It's not flamenco, but it is a great scene.

Hey, I was born in San Antonio and lived there various times. It could be a tough town if you didn't know the turf.

In the 1950s the Ghost Town Gang was still active on the West Side. They were called the Ghost Town Gang because they enforced a 10 PM curfew. How did they enforce it? If you were on the street after 10 PM they shot you.

One night about midnight my cousin Tommy and I were out riding in his Jaguar XK-140 with the 4" x 4 1/8" Buick V8 engine. Tommy cruised down Zarzamora Street, the heart of Ghost Town turf. At a red light a car full of cholos pulled up. The junior member was sent to scare the p1ss out of us. As the kid walked over, Tommy said "Hand me that pistol in the glove compartment."

It was a cocked and locked Colt .45 auto. The kid leaned down and looked in the driver's side window and said, "Man, don't you know what time it is?"

Tommy pointed the .45 at the bridge of the kid's nose and said, "Way past your bedtime, pendejo."

They left us alone.

Tommy last Christmas, age 78.

His grandfather, great grandfather and great-great grandfather were Texas Rangers.

San Antonio cops need to be tough, but they weren't a patch on the ass of the old Mexico City Azules, who were pansies compared to the Granaderos. The Granaderos stirred up so much trouble they finally disbanded them.

Thanks everyone for your responses.

Daniel - I doubt it. My friend started residency at University of Minnesota (in internal medicine) a few days ago though.

Ahmad Kudo - you assumed wrong. My guitars are still in Beirut. I doubt I'll be getting a guitar in Nashville anytime soon. I think it's going to be another 2 or 3 month hiatus.

Florian - I will be here for about three to six years.

Your guitars are still in Beirut, huh??

Well, I think it's time to consider getting a new flamenco guitar

Congratulations on your move to the States!!!
