That's really the only problem with this musical list; snobbery. Not
everyone who plays the Lute, or wants to play the Lute is a purist. Some
people play just because they enjoy it knowing full well that they will
never make a profession of it. This kind of attitude simply turns off those
people investigating whether or not they actually want to go to the trouble
of learning how to play the Lute. Unless it is the desire of some, that the
Lute once more falls into obscurity it is our job to, at the least, not to
turn these people away.

I want to respect you, Roman - I do! I read your posts with interest
and even glance at your neo-baroque compositions from time to time. But
then you make some knuckle-dragger type statement like that and I'm
back to square one.
I suppoes it's natural to resent a more succesful, wealthier, and more
accomplished cousin - but can't you keep that resentment off of the
list?
