Introduction

[lionheart5294]

Hello! Briefly, I am retired from the US Army, and more recently from truck driving. My wife, Carolyn, and I will be living in the South Pacific in Tonga, beginning this summer. I have always been drawn to the fire and passion of Flamenco. So, now I will have the time to study and learn to play Flamenco guitar! I have no plans to perform or produce musical videos or recordings; this is a goal that is purely personal. 57 may be a little old to learn but I believe we must never stop wanting to learn new things in life. To stop learning is to stop living. Lastly, I am new to online forums, so I may err at times or commit a mistake in protocol, but please bear with me. Thank-you for letting me be a part of this community!

Hi Lionheart,

Welcome to the forum!

Nice you have now the time for studying flamenco guitar!
I had to google Tonga, but that is the tiny island near Fiji?
I bet you are the best flamenco guitarist from the Island in no time!
You live nearly exactly at the other side of the world for me.....
The Island looks in google maps very nice and clean.

Yes, it is a good way around the world! We will be living in the northern island group (Tonga consists of three main groups of islands) called Vava'u (sounds like Va-vow).

I hope I will achieve a creditable ability; thank-you for the vote of confidence!
