about
This is a 2021 version of my original piece 'Miranda'. I wrote this song in 1997 after I got my first flamenco guitar, a 1995 Vazquez blanca. At the time I was studying flamenco rhythms with Paco Arroyo in Los Angeles and he helped me pick out this very special guitar. Though I'm not a flamenco guitarist I applied what I learned into writing this song and went into the recording studio to make a demo. A few years later I rerecorded it and it ended up being the title track on my first album release in 2002
It has been fun to revisit this track, I recorded it with the same 95' Vazquez guitar as the original version.
