Hi Brad, A
Robert Derome from University of Quebec has done quiteA a bit of research on the lute in New France ( Quebec) in the 17th century.A you might want to contact him.A I don't know if he's on this list. A Here is the webiste on Lute in New France: A sorry its in French. A [1]http://www.er.uqam.ca/nobel/r14310/Luth/Frontispice.html A I believe that the Sieur De Maisonneuve played lute.A Also the Sieur Duluth, who was a french soldier and explorer, is accounted to have played lute, hence his surname.A His name would have been given to Duluth Minnesota... maybe Ed Martin can comment on that.. A [2]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Greysolon,_Sieur_du_Lhut A A Bruno from Montreal A A 2013/6/19 Brad Walton <[3][email protected]> Hello lute folks! Does anyone know of any records -- references in literature, letters, diaries, whatever, or depictions in paintings or prints -- of lutes being played in North America during the 17th and/or 18th centuries?
