You are promoting just the sort of posting behavior you want here, eh?
After all the whining that went on yesterday, I thought a little levity
might be in order.

Have you seen my latest video?

According to who?


Chet Atkins, among others. You've probably heard of Atkins:

"(Agustín Castellón Campos) was a Flamenco guitarist who was born in
1912 in Pamplona, Spain and died in 14 April 1990 in New York.

Sabicas began playing guitar at the age of 4 and made his performing
debut 2 years later. His early style was influenced by Ramón Montoya.
Extensive collaboration with important cantaores (male Flamenco singers)
of the period helped him develop his unique personal style.

Leaving Spain in 1936 during the Spanish Civil War, he went into exile
in South America with bailaora (dancer) Carmen Amaya. The two toured
together several times. Sabicas later settled in New York City in the
United States. He did not return to his native Spain until 1967.

Sabicas was instrumental in the introduction of Flamenco to audiences
outside of Spain and the Spanish-speaking world. He was probably best
known for his technical skills: Blazingly fast picados (scales), fast
arpeggios, quality composition for the many forms of flamenco, and
infallible rhythm, which was critical if playing with a dancer. Also, he
was considered to have perfect pitch.


*** "The finest technique around has got to be Sabicas, the Flamenco
player," famed guitarist Chet Atkins told Guitar Player Magazine in
March 1972. ***

Sabicas was a tremendous genius of his day, not only with technique, but
with major contributions, playing Flamenco previously unimaginable and
giving new tools and possibilities for the solo instrument. He brought
this art to concert halls and major theaters where all classes can enjoy.

Notable contemporary players such as Paco de Lucía, Tomatito, Serranito,
Juan Manuel Cañizares, El Viejín, Vicente Amigo, Gerardo Nuñez and many
more claim large influence from Sabicas' music.
