You can still find lots of places that hand roll them. I remember one eating establishment called "The Colombia" that had traditional flaminco dancers. Maybe they still do.There was a Colombia on Sand Key just south of Clearwater Beach but I don't remember them ever having dancers. Wiki entry on Ybor City |

But if you like traditional music, you will like Richard Gilewitz, a guitarist and story teller. Google his name for more info. He has a concert in nearby Bradenton about that time. I believe he is one of the most talented musicians of our time. |

It's wasn't folk music however.It was a performance by Chick Corea and Stanly Clarke. But the armed guards didn't let anyone wander around the building. That address is for the old Ft Harrison Hotel - where my high school rock band played one of it's few paying gigs. A sweet 16 party. Now it's owned by the Scientologists. |
