It is interesting that at one point in his career Eric Clapton actually made a pilgrimage to the Deep South to learn (or at least experience) the authentic art from the masters (as I remember, Lightnin' Hopkins, among others).
Just as a number of us, guided by Donn Pohren and his monumental works "Art of Flamenco", "Lives and Legends of Flamenco") , made the trek to Moron de la Frontera to learn from Diego del Gastor and his family......
