ORIGINAL: mark74 haha you've got plenty of aire ..(do they even say duende anymore...for that matter do they even say aire anymore?) Mark, they do, they do! When they want to put you down. And you see, it's very easy because you can never disprove them! No matter what you do people who say you don't have it will always claim it! And if you ask them where exactly the duende and aire is lacking, they will say that you have to know it and feel it to understand. Something like that. Or, let's not forget the best evasive maneuver: "You're not Spanish, you wouldn't understand". :) I've gotten that one a couple of times.

ORIGINAL: profundo becoming better but still not much duende. Thank you, profundo! I am glad you see slight improvement. I've tried everything to get that duende, but I can never ever get it in my life. Perhaps, drugs is the answer... Grisha, I like your playing a lot but the classical style of your right hand drives me crazy :-) There are certain techniques in flamenco that bring on duende along with the silence in between the notes, and this can call out to the spirit of those who listen. This can be compelling to those who are experiencing it, and there is no doubt a coming together as one in the experience, and drugs are not going to get you there. They give a false read in experience, as others have told me. I've only experienced duende playing the guitar, twice in my life performing in a group, once in Moron and once in Dallas; both as a professional, and it was the real thing. We are always in control but sensitive to about how we are moved in the spirit.

Grisha, I know you were joking, but it's not bad to hear a compliment anyway. In the nearly ten years since I first saw your videos, to my taste your interpration and playing gets better and better. I have your first CD, and again, the most recent videos blow it away (in my opinion). Your playing is elegant, expressive, and poignant. I showed them to a friend and he said "is there any doubt Grisha is the best nylon-string player in the world right now?" So--yes, we like it! ...although I heard the duende gremlins don't like pullovers... :)

ORIGINAL: Tom Blackshear quote:
When I was hanging around Ed Freeman and his students in my youth, the star pupil was a kid from San Antonio named Richard (not Ricardo) Gamez. Hi Richard, I thought his name was George Gamez, Hmm, now that you mention it, I vaguely remember that Richard's father's name was George. But the guy around our age went by Richard, in Austin and Dallas at least. RNJ Richard, I don't know how old you are but George was a little older than me and I'm 71 years old. And I knew him as George. And if George had a son, I wouldn't know him, as George was Freeman's student. But I've got a call for Jerry Lobdill in Fort Worth to see what the name was when we were taking lessons from Mr Freeman. Jerry is a few years older than me, about the same age as George, so he should know the name.

Maybe he was George--it 's beginning to sound familiar, and it's been a been a while, more than 50 years. But I remember the confusion about "Niño Ricardo" playing in Austin. Tell Jerry I said "Hello". RNJ

Richard, Jerry sends you his best and fondest memories, and considers you to be an absolute genius in math, etc. George's name is his correct name but he went by his stage name as Ricardo for many years. He is out in California now, still playing guitar on the side, but had switched his vocation from psychiatry to being a Lawyer at the age of 71, which was 4 years ago.
