It's been awhile...

No contacts about Carlitos Torres yet. I even tried emailing the family I bought the cuatro from and had no reply. I will keep posting and see what happens...
I started a MySpace account... I will post the site here if you want to see pictures of me and the family.
Thanks....... Angel

OUR READERS WRITE...
"I taught myself how to play a few songs and had a chance to play along with a few singers and a cuatro that a friend of the family had. That night he taught me a small section of a song and ever sense then I always knew I would buy a cuatro. A few years ago I finally bought a cuatro on ebay. I love it.... I have been really busy but will learn how to play it soon. I am now searching for the history of my cuatro's builder. I want to learn more about his roots and what got him into making these beautiful master pieces. Angel F Soto
