I think....if my memory serves me correctly- that later in life - Dowland did play thumb out. But how about Paul O'dette playing theorbo and baroque lute thumb under?(this is based on second hand sightings) although I did see him years back play theorbo thumb under. You know, after listening to the Sting thing on the BBC I listened to the Early Music Show - they had some stuff on from the Brighton Early Music Festival. A group did some..ah hem.. pop tunes. Good Lord! Rolf L.'s group's new cd does some interesting things with the 'New Music" ..one of the tunes sounds like a bebop tune....! Gotta go....I'm arranging some "Police" tunes for broken consort - I'm kinda hesitant about adding vocals - but - there's Sting's vocal style and nuances to "copy" .... I hope the performance will be hip enough.........
