4/13/2004Last night, due to a scheduling mishap, we had a "Men of Flamenco" night at Cafe Citron featuring Shahram, Gerard, Carlton and Miguelito. (We didn't do Sevillanas.) The audience loved it. All-guy shows are not common, but still it's nothing new: Juan Talavera in Los Angeles has a very successful show by the same name.
