Have any of you guys discovered these two yet? They are really amazing. Gabriela is a one woman rhythm section. I could watch them play for hours. My daughter Jill turned me on to these two. I need to spend more time playing the acoustic :)

A friend of mine turned me onto them about 2 years ago... They are amazing! They started out as thrash metalheads in Mexico City, but couldn't make any $$$ there so they took a couple acoustics and headed for Europe, playing coffee houses, etc. over there. They got discovered while in Ireland and last I heard they were living in Ireland. Okay, TMI I just thought it was interesting...lol Summer before last they played an outdoor show at the Washington Park Rose Garden near Portland, OR and I had two tickets but ended up having to eat them due to some crisis or other. I don't even remember what it was now. (Old age, ya know?) :dunno:

A true musical symbiosis that you can't help but admire.

I seem to remember seeing Stairway to Heaven before. In fact, I think one of you guys sent it around via e-mail or in the Forums. They are a joy to watch.

I absolutely loved the instructional clip!
