Yeah, electric guitar is my primary instrument. But the older I get the more I like the idea of being a self sufficent musician, not having to depend on other people to make music & do gigs etc..Playing solo guitar on the electric can sound like excessive noodling, so I slowly gravitated to the acoustic. I'm not much of a steel string acoustic player (just don't have the touch) so the nylon str. became my new instrument of choice. I love the tone and the idea of connecting to the instrument w/your fingers.

I love Flamenco/Spanish music because to me it sounds like the ultimate fusion of classical and jazz. There's no one around where I live doing it so I've been teaching myself. Been buying a lot of cd's, dvd's etc..whatever I can get my hands on to help understand the music. Been at it for a year now, starting to get pretty good at. It is a lot of work, but it is cool.
