I have always enjoyed John Renborne's music - even though he plays
steel-string guitar, his understand of early music shines through.
I am about to mail the next Quarterly, which has the first of a series
of articles on teaching the lute to children, by Susan King. In this
one she interviewed Anne Bailes. We also have another installment of
Andrew Hartig's series on wire-string instruments, this time the
baroque citterns and their relatives. In the next Quarterly we will
start a series of articles by Cathy Liddell teaching how to read all
the varieties of German tablature.
I can't offer this current issue for free yet, but if anyone else wants
a copy of the John Renborne issue email me with a snail mail address.

Many thanks to Nancy and Denys for the interesting Renbourn
interview from LSA Quarterly Sept. 06!
Especially funny to read about the Newsidler "Judentanz" that had
musicologists baffled in those early days because they couldn't read
the German tablature properly (dash above cipher) and therefore
totally misjudged the piece as an atonal piece centuries ahead of
its time.
Luckily, thanks to David Munrow who was there on recorder, they were
able to put things straight. But they still bowed to contemporary
musicologist knowledge and recorded a faulty atonal version as well.
Shows you never to put too much trust in your contemporary
musicologists! He-he ;)

I am also a big Renbourn fan and agree that he has great
technique.
Those early records of his were a big inspiration years ago. We
published a nice interview with him in the LSA Quarterly a while
back.
I anyone does not have it email me and I can send you a copy.
