Chris: Except my singer. We met singing polyphony together, which is really the same as the combination of voice and lute when well balanced. However, we recently attended a local performance of an amateur group singing English madrigals on a rather stuffy summer evening. The door to the very small church was open and a neighborhood dog decided to wander inside and add his robust voice. Very entertaining. Ron Andrico www.mignarda.com
