ST. LOUIS, Mo. - Ronald Radford's mother bought a record at a grocery store that changed his life. "I discovered Flamenco when I was a teenage rock 'n' roller," Radford said in a phone interview from his home in St. Louis. "I was somewhat of a creative musician even at 17 years old - a poor kid growing up in Oklahoma. We were out on a fishing trip and my mom brings this record home from a grocery store of flamenco music by Carlos Montoya. I'd never even heard of flamenco music in my entire life."
