I owe a great deal to Paco, our local maestro of flamenco guitar in the D.C. area. He had alzheimer's and passed only weeks after his wife the dancer Ana Martinez.
When I retired from the US Foreign Service, I decided I would learn to play flamenco guitar, and Paco took me on as a student when he still owned the Guitar Gallery on Connecticut Ave. in Washington, DC. I learned a lot from Paco, not only flamenco technique, but the history of flamenco, its origins, and the greats of the genre. My wife and I became good friends with Paco and Ana, and they particularly liked conversing with my Brazilian wife, as they both spent many years in Brazil before moving to the US.
DEP Paco.
Bill
