Hi all, Here are the real answers to the question: "How many lutenists does it take to change a light bulb?" There are two answers, depending on whether you are a Renaissance lutenist, or a Baroque one: Renaissance lutenist: --It takes two: one to change the light bulb, the other to redo it thumb under to show how it show properly be done Baroque lutenist: --It takes two: one to do it thumb under, and the other to show how much easier it is to do it thumb out.
I have however thoroughly enjoyed the other answers proposed on the list, and just to give you something to do under the mistletow, here is Johnny: http://cbsr26.ucr.edu/wlkfiles/Publications/Johnny_ML.pdf - (who does not seem to know exactly what side of the fence to sit on, BTW...)
