Million is not what is important, a milestone, yes, but what is touching me
is more the private messages (or comments) I have from various, and
unexpected people, many teens from all around the world, coming from heavy
metal or video games and having a "revelation" about lute music, most saying
"were could I get one ???" and most of them not having enough money to buy a
serious lute... : back to the thread about cheap lute making... so many
buying Pakistan lutes... But I'm sure if I was back 35 years and have the
opportunity, I would have bought one too, and start with...
Yes Greensleeves is an entry (in fact when I first came to Youtube, I decide
to do a video with Greensleeves, as there were no lute version at that time,
but so many folk versions or "What Child" ones...)
But then I saw what attract people too is Scottish lute music, then Dowland
(most by guitar players, or Sting fans...)
Baroque music is not so attractive for most people, but more for musicians
and melomanes (again guitar players, and classical musicians, keyboards...)

I would brag about my 350,000 hits, except that 1/3 of those are for
Barto's videos on my site!
