I for one joined the list so as to read these discussions among people who are non-profs like me. Hasten to add that I appreciate prof comments. But the thing is, profs are making a living, that's probably why they tend to come to the point more quickly, tend to say things more comprehensively, tend to state things obvious to them without chapter and verse, tend to distinguish important (profitable) from unimportant. I enjoy reading other people's opinions as regards all aspects of the lute, as far as their statements do not come down to judgements and mere taste. > But what we rarely discuss is actually playing the lute: dissecting that sort > of thing seems to be "hands off" territory. Why don't you just have a go? I mean, I cannot really imagine how to _discuss_ my playing with others. I can post videos and wait for comments. I can post video answers (which I did) if I disagree with others about the performance of certain pieces of music. But how can I discuss playing itself. It's not hands-off, I simply don't know how to. -- Mathias To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
