Dear ones, I just returned from the movie theater, where I saw the new movie, Robin Hood, portrayed by Russell Crowe. Has anyone on the list seen it yet? I thought it was done very well.
Of interest to this list is that one of the band of Merry Men, playing the role of the minstrel Allan A'Dayle, is Alan Doyle; he is a folk musician in a modern Celtic group, entitled, "The Great Big Sea". There are many scenes in which Allan A'Dayle is playing a lute; this was built by Dan Larson for the project. It is a dark instrument, with rosewood back & neck, and the top is of Spanish Red Ceder. It was comforting to see and hear a real lute in the movie, although most or all of the music was not period music. Still, it is very enjoyable. ed Edward Martin 2817 East 2nd Street Duluth, Minnesota 55812 e-mail: [email protected] voice: (218) 728-1202 http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1660298871&ref=name http://www.myspace.com/edslute To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
