Hello, Payul

Just checked out Grisha on lastfm.com. They have a couple of videos, one of him performing Paco's Buleria and the other Paco's Fandango. You're right; he is a very accomplished guitarist. Gives me something to shoot for!

Yes, unfortunately the US is freakin' huge...Houston is 1692 miles from where I live (according to Mapquest) lol. I wish he would come to my neck of the woods so I could catch one of his shows, but that is pretty far to go even for world class Flamenco guitar. I agree the guy is fairly phenomenal.
By the way Payul congrats on reaching 100 posts!

HEY! Thanks Deteresa!


I live in a very small country, well, even Europe is small...
Allways I make a mistake about distances perspective in the states...
When I drive south from my house 1600 km, I am in Spain, and visited 4 countries.

Thanks everyone, for your kind comments. Grisha will be very happy to come out and play in your countries/states, if you can arrange a concert gig.

A performance in the Los Angeles area would be great. The Flamenco community in the Southern California area is a bit spread out but when a Flamenco performer comes to town everyone shows up.

Thank you for the heads-up, could you suggest names of venues and contact information to LaTrini_Guitar@yahoo.com.
