About Me

I was born on the Texas border, but I now live in Spain. I am a mixture of Anglo-Saxon, Irish, Dutch, & Hispanic. I translate and teach English for a living. I love many kinds of music, including flamenco, folk, rock, hard rock, some metal, jazz, etc. I respect your beliefs; please respect mine. I don't like it when people are pushy and dogmatic. I am not a purist. I enjoy freedom. Don't you? I can't please everybody - I wish I could, especially when it's somebody who really matters to me. But I have to be myself. You may have to take some time to get to really know me, if you really want to. Some things take time. - K. *** ************************************************************ ***************************Nací en la frontera de Texas, pero ahora vivo en España. Soy una mezcla de anglosajon, irlandés, holandés, e hispano. Me dedico a la traducción y la enseñanza del idioma inglés. Me encantan muchos géneros de música: flamenco, folk, rock, rock duro, algo de metal, jazz, etc. Yo respetaré tus creencias; te pido que también respetes las mías. No me gusta cuando la gente es pesada y dogmática. No soy purista. Disfruto de la libertad. ¿Y tú no? No puedo complacer a todo el mundo - Ojalá pudiera, sobre todo cuando se trata de alguién que realmente me importa. Pero tengo que ser lo que soy. Puede que tengas que tomar algún tiempo para llegar a conocerme de verdad, si es que realmente deseas hacerlo. Algunas cosas requieren tiempo. - K.***I believe that the best "adjective" to describe yourself is the way you live day to day / Yo creo que el mejor "adjetivo" para describirte es el dia a dia, como vives hoy, mañana, pasado, etc....***SAVE THE IBERIAN LYNX: WWW.SOSLYNX.ORG SOSLYNX MERCHANDISE: http://www.cafepress.com/soslynx ..

I'd like to meet:

Nice people, people who like music, who are tolerant and respectful and considerate. People who know how to listen as well as to speak. Well, you don't have to be too nice!!! People who are sick of the lies and oppression and war, and stand against it. People who are not docile. People who want to have a good time and enjoy life. People who believe that love is the greatest wisdom. People who are learning Spanish -- I'll be glad to give you some help. ¡Si quieres aprender (ó mejorar tu nivel) de inglés, me encantaría echarte una mano! (BTW, I'm a professional translator / Por cierto, soy traductor profesional .. ***I'd like to meet you.*** ******

Music:

Varied. Folk, Rock, Hard Rock, Some Metal, Cool Jazz, Some Classical. And FLAMENCO. I love the flamenco guitar. I love the acoustic guitar.* And variety. I have my preferences like anybody else,(Hard Rock/Acoustic Rock is close to my heart) but am not a purist. *I think that if a song sounds great on acoustic guitar, it will probably sound great on electric/electronic instruments, too SIMONE SIMONS & EPICA: ***VICENTE AMIGO, TRES NOTAS PARA DECIR "TE QUIERO": ****** *** MARIA CARRASCO, LA CANTAORA DEL BARETO: *** *** *** ********* *** *** *** *** ****** *** ******

Books:

LAS PALABRAS DEL POLIFACÉTICO GRAN WYOMING: "El FLAMENCO, queridos amigos, sigue a día de hoy luchando por su normalización. Sigue siendo un arte especial para aficonados, por lo visto. Nuestros conciudadanos, los españoles en general, queridos amigos, están al margen de todo esto ¿Por qué razón? Para nosotros es desconocida, cuando sabemos, sobre todo, que grandes artistas, como Lenny Kravitz, o Alicia Keys, el mismo Mick Jagger, cuando vienen a España quieren flamenco. Quiero decir: ¿Porqué estas personas que no tienen ni puñetera idea de qué es esto y lo que es una caña de manzanilla, vienen aquí, alucinan, y lo piden y se llevan lo escuchado, y aquí sigue siendo un arte que es extraño y ajeno? ¿Por qué todo el mundo aquí sabe lo que es un twist, un blues, un rock&roll, un reggae, y no sabe lo que es una bulería? Este es el dato que tenemos que analizar en profundidad. El flamenco es una cosa que está entre nosotros; disfrutémosla, gocémosla, seamos testigos privilegiados y, como tales, encumbrémenos por encima de esa mediocridad ambiente, queridos amigos."
