I am grateful for this website. Being a big fan of Rey de la Torre, I enjoy reading his thoughts on the music. He understood the heart of the music and did not just gloss through it as others do. He was true to the music and appreciated and understood every note in a piece.Thanks for the oportunity to read this conversation of Rey de la Torre with Walter Spalding.

WALTER WAS ONE OF MY TEACHERS IN FLAGSTAFF ARIZONA AND I TOOK LESSONS IN HIS HOUSE WHICH WAS LIKE AN ART MUSEUM BUT SHOWED ME PIVOTAL MOVES AND TECHNIQUES FOR FLAMENCO THAT MADE ME A MUCH BETTER MUSICIAN. HE WAS VERY SERIOUS ABOUT MUSIC LIKE A SCIENTIST. HE WAS A GREAT MASTER. AFTER READING THIS I KNOW HE WAS AN IMMORTAL GUITARIST. 424 731 6823
