    Is the performance the thing or is the CD the thing? My favorite CDs are
 recordings of live performances because I tend toward the view that a lute
 CD should be simply the record of a performance. Your recorded work has
this quality for me, Ed, and that's part of its charm.
    The same issues arise in the recording of jazz and other music involving
 improvization. Joe Pass said that when he recorded his famous solo guitar
 albums for Norman Granz (Pablo Records), Granz presented him with a list of
 tunes to record as he entered the studio. Some of the tunes he had not
 played in years and wanted to do a second take. Granz refused remarking,
 "What's the matter, you trying to 'get it right?'"
