In 1963 my dad had to go to Madrid on business. I asked him to see if he could find a shop called Ramirez. A few weeks later I was holding a brand new Jose Ramirez flamenco guitar in my hands! He paid $200. Its worth a bit more today! That's when I really got serious about learning flamenco guitar. I am planning on getting back into flemenco this year.

Because of the wooden peg tuners, this baby's real hard to keep in tune.
