Del Boy's flamenco adventure 1/3 (pollito de nerja)

[KFphil]

so co, you're lucky my friend, i like your surprises (like Juan Marin's) remember ?

[delboy1978uk]

how could i forget? thanks phil! have a good christmas!

[delboy1978uk]

you should if you get the chance!

[PaulSaywood]

It looks like such a chilled out friendly atmosphere, I want to go there myself now.

[delboy1978uk]

i'm going back next year, i think it would be fun to go with other youtube guitar buddies, i already have one taker!

[PaulSaywood]

Yes, that sounds like fun, I may end up joining you, even though I know nothing of flamenco.

[delboy1978uk]

thats what im talkin about!

[PaulSaywood]

'Little chicken'??? :)

Just over half-way through you video, and it looks like a fantastic adventure, I bet you were buzzed up by this experience, and the acts are getting better along the vid.

[delboy1978uk]

little chicken! there are other great flamencos with mad names!

watch the top youtube video when you search for 'tomatito'! little tomato! And there's a potito, little potato i think! and part 2 of my flamenco adventure, the video response, has 'el chino', the chinaman!

[velspir]

Youre so lucky.. I wish i could escape the US and experience that.

[delboy1978uk]

well when i move over there (and i WILL ) you are all invited to come over for a big flamenco party!

[MiguelMvM]

Soooo great you sharing this with us Derek!!! i'm with tears!

Also now that you are home you must know what it feels to not being in the place where you belong or want to be.. someday we both be back there, i swear that!

[delboy1978uk]

dont worry, i will live there soon enough!! (i hope) the euro practically equals a euro now so what reason is there to live through the hardships of life, work, mortgages, etc, in a freezing wet bitter cold miserable country like britain, when we could go through all that in a hot country where it's so much nicer? it makes sense to me! just need to clear all my debts in this country and then i can take my first steps to freedom! not long now! ole!

[throjo]

I've fantasized for years about traveling Europe just as you described, away from tourist spots, with guitar in hand, hitting local bars and learning from whatever local musicians I can find. Thanks for letting me live that vicariously for a bit. Good job on the captions, by the way. ;)

[delboy1978uk]

i really would recommend it! it was so different from going to some holiday resort in spain via a travel agent :-)

[Flamencoblues]

Ole Pollito! Congrats on your trip and on your charming video. You understand what flamenco is all about. Thanks for posting.

[delboy1978uk]

[colchicmu]

[terfle1106]

[delboy1978uk]

[lonewolfshogun]
