Has anyone said that? Dowland’s preface says that most of his songs should be “ripe enough by their age” to have achieved popularity, so it’s clear that he didn’t just crank them out that year. There’s a testimonial from Luca Marenzio on the same page dated 1595. To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
