Also, I very much like the Italian born Gino D'Auri.

Camarón de la Isla sang often with guitarist Paco de Lucia. They also worked with a guitarist known as Tomatito. Also worth checking, in my view, is Enrique Morente. I'll think of a few more in a minute.

[quote name='MacDaddy' timestamp='1439111633' post='2839982'] MacWifey and I go the the flamenco festival each year at Saddlers Wells [size=4] [/size] [/quote] Yes, very good, been to that a couple of times.

[quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1439105053' post='2839922'] I say - ding dong! [/quote] Well, hellooooooooo ....

[quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1439070543' post='2839821'] Along with "dad dancing", of course... [/quote] My son said I danced like a drunken robot. Given that my dance influences are Ray Charles and Leslie Phillips, I took it as a compliment.

Saw another fantastic show in Sevilla last night.

[quote name='seashell' timestamp='1439060115' post='2839740'] Wonderful. I flirted with flamenco dancing some years ago. Lovely stuff. Not easy, but sometimes I wish I'd persevered with it. Especially as it is a form of dance that you can do at any age. [/quote] It is never too late to start. Mrs ET has always danced one way or another but flamenco for about 10 years now.

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1439061516' post='2839752'] Best tambourine song ever. Worst tambourine playing ever. How ironic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5Vz-z4PEkk [/quote] They should have got Jack Ashford.

[quote name='PaulWarning' timestamp='1438983307' post='2839263'] I was expressing a personnel opinion, I didn't expect everybody, or perhaps anybody to agree with me, for the record I think Yellow Submarine is a joke/comedy/childrens song, and Rigby is a Macca/Martin classical recording and to paraphrase Mr Richard(s) makes it a mish mash of an Album, IMO [/quote] I agree with what you say there except I do not see it as a bad thing. For example, Yellow Submarine is exactly a joke/comedy/children's song and that is good and in a long English tradition of nonsense verse and children's rhymes. I like that.

For anyone interested, the Sanlucar tablao was Raquel Villegas Gomez con su grupo.

[quote name='pete.young' timestamp='1438943804' post='2838817'] Often, knowing who to ask would have got you the answer more quickly than a forum posting. In this case, a PM to Kiogon would have got you the answer. [/quote] Either way ~ patience.

[quote name='PaulWarning' timestamp='1438902852' post='2838644'] revolver would have been perfect if they'd left off Yellow Submarine and Eleanor Rigby [/quote] Both of those songs are part of the Englishness of The Beatles. They are essential to the perfection of Revolver.

[quote name='Zenitram' timestamp='1438901700' post='2838639'] Forget the tinto, you're in Sanlúcar! It's manzanilla time. And "bitter and twisted passion" is what flamenco is all about. Enjoy! [/quote] Too much cerveza and tinto to start on the manzanilla tonight ~ I would have lost the duende.

Watching flamenco show in back street in Sanlucar de Barrameda in Andalucia ~ usual dancers and singer and clapping and guitarist but also guy doubling on flute, soprano sax and button harmonica - sounds like ennio morricone meets herbie mann doing jazz flamenco with bitter and twisted passion. And another glass of tinto.

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1438899102' post='2838620'] Nothing, and I mean *nothing* irritates me more than the 'clap on beats 1 & 3' brigade. Have they no soul? [/quote] Soul but no backbeat.

[quote name='Raslee' timestamp='1438897147' post='2838593'] I'd love one of these [/quote] I do love it. Even though I almost sold it once.

What was the question?

I know nothing about Yes or Squire but surely it is another job for Palladino? ;-)

Richards also thinks Led Zeppelin are cr4p. EDIT ~ oops

Richards also thinks Led Zeppelin are cr4p.

[quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1438858974' post='2838058'] Can you imagine Jagger singing - I'm fixing a hole where the rain comes in _ _ _ _ [/quote] If he was getting paid enough then yes.

When checking out a bass one needs to stop thinking one is being tested. The bass is being tested not you. Don't perform. Play every note on every string, Play octaves, play fifths. Use different pickups, play with the tone controls. Etc.etc.

[quote name='Roger2611' timestamp='1438795570' post='2837459'] ...what about Pino's intro to Wherever I lay My Hat, it is really a solo and makes the song ... [/quote] For me that's not a solo at all. It's merely part of the melodic instrumentation of that performance.

[quote name='bassace' timestamp='1438789982' post='2837370'] ... a chorus, half a chorus, or a middle eight according to what the tune is doing ... [/quote] I can live with that.
