    Fame, Catherini, is a strange word in our world, I suppose to be wellknown is not even enough to have enough work. You also have
    to be commercial, take a manager, have them tell you what to sing, and I have never wanted that! Thus I am "punished" but I can do my own things. I also have therefore nobody sponsoring a record/studio for me. What to say? There have been years already with much money and years without any money. I sail in between these years with a smile on my face
    Thanks for your wishes. I am sorry I don't know do you play an instrument or sing I have forgotten!

    I'm sorry you are having some hard times, I was listening to someone saying on the radio that if you are going to do music you have got to love what you are doing because performing may be your only reward I wish you all the best and hope you become famous and earn loads of money

    Hi Catherini! Yes, singing and playing guitar(acoustically) is my profession ever since I left university where I studied languages.
    Now times are hard but we'll see, I was also going through hard times when bginning this work as I had no clue where to start
    getting work from. So I've been hardened you could say
    Nice you enjoyed it to the full and that they arrived after all.

    Hiya Amaryn..yes I really enjoyed the flamenco evening, although first of all it was cancelled on Saturday as we all waited to go in. The musicians were delayed on their flight and didn't arrive in time, but it was re-arranged for Sunday night so we did see the show after all There was one dancer, one guitar (no long fingernails) and one singer, a very informal show and excellently performed. Such expression in the dance, just wished I could have understood the words that were being sung and the story that was being acted out.

    If I was reborn I'd love to learn to play the violin, I've never been very musically minded I'm afraid, I just love to listen It must be great to play an instrument as part of an orchestra. Do you play professionally?

    Hello, Catherini Castagnetti mou Hope you enjoyed your flamenco with all your heart!
    As an acoustic guitarist I envy those who can really play those very complicated rythms : there is only one decision: be born again and start from a very early age Missed that chance, I am afraid.....

    Flamenco is great, have you ever seen these gypsies from the mountains between Spain and France with 20 cm long nails playing
    Flamenco? It amazes me, how they do it with such precision! Yep, check the Spanish music thread tomorrow. Good idea
    Enjoy your night!

    but it seems my responsibility to keep the baby healthy
