Just a quick blog to show you what I received from a member of the audience last night at Las Tapas. The dancers were Pam de Ocampo and Emily Mazzotti. Awesome and inspiring evening, especially the second set when we were more relaxed and focused.

While I was upstairs practicing before the show, a young lady and her mother (I presume) passed by me on the way to the restroom. On their way back downstairs the mother took a moment to tell me how beautiful my guitar playing sounds and that she and her daughter would be looking forward to the show. Turns out the young lady had just started classical guitar lessons a few weeks ago!

I wasn't the only one that received a hand-drawn greeting card (like the one above). Both Pam and Emily got cards too. The young lady was so sweet and adorable. It's nights like these that make it all worth it to perform in restaurants and clubs. I love my job!

Tomorrow (Thursday) morning, I'll be going to Las Tapas again, but this time in the morning, 11:30am to be specific. Together with Edwin Aparicio and Kyoko, we'll be doing a lecture/demonstration for children teaching them about Spain and flamenco. It's getting late. So I'd better go to sleep now. Ciao for now!
