Good
Attendance: Presenters report that his performance
attracted more people than many solo artists partly because
Flamenco is a rare art form that everyone wants to hear, and
because the guitar is the most popular instrument in the
world.
Musical
Variety: As one sponsor wrote, "His repertoire
touched every one's is tastes. His technique fascinated all
ages." His audiences are filled with people who like everything
from Jazz and Bluegrass, to those who love the classics.
Flamenco is an art that has something for everyone...from
haunting Gypsy melodies to fiery Spanish dance rhythms! This is
a program that will have everyone shouting "Ole!"
"We had hoped for
an audience of 250 and had over 400 people show up
instead!" -Tulsa Jr. College,
OK.
"Two thousand hand
clapping, foot stomping 'aficionados'is truly a thrilling experience!"
- Imperial Valley
Arts Council, CA.
Friendly Style: "A
world-class artist with a 'down home' touch" is a typical
review comment prompted by his warm and friendly style of
talking with the audience. He introduces each selection with a
blend of information, inspiration and stories of his personal
experiences with the Gypsies in Spain,
Residencies:
Ron sees himself as an ambassador for the arts dedicated
to building new audiences and he would like to help you
build your audience in your community with the outreach
of his informal mini-concerts for various community
groups as well as his school programs. He will work with
you to design a Residency perfect for your community -
connecting business, civic and arts
groups.
Funding
Available: If you want his program, he
guarantees he will find a way to help you do it. Just
call him. Although his fee is within the range of most
budgets, he can help you arrange for 25% to 50% of his
fee to be paid directly to you through the MId-America
Art Alliance, The Arts Foundation, or your State Arts
Council. His staff will fill out the forms for
you!
Motivational School
Programs: His school programs will
encourage students to know that they are each unique and
special and that we are all here to use our talents to make
the world a better place. He shows how success and
happiness in life depends on respecting and caring about
others and being responsible in everything we think and say
and do. Each moment is an opportunity to make a choice that
can be part of the solution to family, school, and world
problems.
"Always do
your best, and the best will always come back to you" is an
underlying theme of his stories which introduce each
musical selection for the students. He will arrange the
schedule and the funding for these outreach programs...You
get the good public relations benefit as well as increased
attendance at the concert.
Simple Technical: His
minimum needs are a chair and simple lighting. He will
provide and set up his own high quality professional sound
system. With no technical worries, you can concentrate on
promotion and/or ticket sales! His program is very easy to
present.

Inspiration
Insight
And Vision: Although his international tours
have taken him to 15 countries, from Australia to Switzerland
and from Canada to Panama, he does not think of himself as
traveling around the world, but as he says, "traveling
around the sun, riding on planet earth.
A North American playing
the music of the Spanish Gypsies might be unusual, but an
individual from planet earth playing music from some
other place on planet earth is quite
natural.
Ron tells his audience: "Whatever you
experienced at this concert that was of any artistic or
spiritual value, you experienced for one reason only, and that
is because you brought it in here with you! I didn’t give it to
you as the artist. No one can give you what is already yours!
As an old Gypsy in Spain taught me, the artist is only a mirror
to show you, the people, what you already have within yourself.
We are all fully equipped with all the wonder, beauty and joy
of the whole universe. Music is just one of the ways we awaken
to more of who we really
are."

Conde Hermanos
Guitars
Ron currently plays a 1983
Conde
Hermanos 'Negra' Flamenco
guitar. A concert model
Flamenco guitar
that uses Classical guitar
rosewood
on the sides and back, which
creates
a richer tone and greater
volume as
well as more tonal variety.
This is the
same model used by Paco de
Lucia
and other top players.
