Dear lute folks,

in another tiny  thread(?) of talks I wrote:

To separate this idea of my  ads of  my "tube performances", I just
would like to hear your views of this matter. I really do appreciate and
give value to the talks about technically best means and best tools to
make good recordings. It is important. But, but, ...

But as I said, to me (nearly) any live performance of music is by
definition more valuable than any "canned" one!  In the "can" you
usually find all the  notes of the music in paper - in the "live" that
is not often the case. But in the "canned" version there is no
reaction - not even knowledge - to/of  the audience. Of course not,
because there isn't any!  Well, in canned _live_ performances there WAS
once an audience, but they are not any more there, when I empty the
can...

So:  Let the live performances between the musician(s) and the audience
live long and flourish!      :-)

Arto
