A very proud moment for me today!

Having just completed a year of learning to play Flamenco guitar in Andalucia, Spain, my Teacher, Daniel Santacruz, presented me with this Diploma of Recognition to mark the occasion. I also turned 58 yesterday so to be here doing this at this stage of my life is a dream come true for sure! 

It has been a most incredible experience living in Vélez-Malaga for the past year, the highlight of which has been learning to play Flamenco guitar.

Having played other styles of guitar for more than 50 years it had always been a dream of mine to learn Flamenco guitar one day. Today I'm a year in and completely addicted! This weekend I plan to film and record myself playing some of the pieces I learned. 

I will post the completed video here next week.

Following the launch of my ebook "Din" last September everything went pear shaped in classic fashion which led to a few dark months but then out of the blue in December an opportunity to do some filming in Egypt for two weeks in February landed on my lap. That's due to happen in a couple of weeks and I still can't get my head around the fact it is even happening so I'm not going to say any more right now other than that adventure should also yield a new video in the not so distant future.
