Yeah, she's got about a 10-year window of "age" involved. Figure the age at which she first married, for example. <grin> Interesting history on the lady.

 

OTOH, the magazine "best" to me shows that she was likely the best known, which says to me quite a bit about how well known flamenco players are. She is a skilled and talented guitarist and entertainer, though. I figure her about my age one way or another, so she's had plenty of time to work out how to play with those nails. <grin>

 

Also a very bright lady regardless, who has had a very interesting career of making her talent and skills part of a very good entertainment act as well as a mode of maintaining publicity as a semi-airhead cutiepie who plays exceptional guitar. My hat's off to her, for sure. Again, a very bright lady with an interesting career.
