Well, the "SIx Lute Pieces..." got me- a young classical guitar student-
somewhat interested in lute music, but it was Karl Scheidt's guitar
arrangements of some of Dowland's lute solos and songs; at about the
same time I first heard Julian Bream, that got me interested in the
LUTE. That was when my poor guitar teacher- Peter C. Colonna of South
Philadelphia- finally threw up his hands in despair and declared "I've
lost him- nothing but 99 string monsters & obscurity in his future!"
In my case, guess he was right. As I mentioned to one friend on this
list, I dodged a bullet vis-a-vis Segovia and bullying. When I attended
the master class at the Accademia Chigiana in Siena all those years ago
Segovia had pulled out and Alirio Diaz ran the class instead- a fine,
sympathetic teacher (and killer virtuosos player) who helped each
different student reach his or her own goals in his or her own best way
rather than just manufacture clones in his image. I was already
"intabulating" (I didn't even know the term!) my own performing versions
of Morley's madrigals- Diaz was totally supportive.
I remember that old Vandervogle Giraffenlaute cover on the old Respighi
album cover. (They were still turning up at Amoeba Music a few years
ago) That also made me want a lute- but not THAT lute!

Being a little older, it was Elvis who first got me thinking I should
have a guitar.

Actually, Paul told me that his idol as a young player was Eric Clapton
and he was thrilled to have finally met him at the Grammys a few years
ago. Maybe Paul was also inspired by Segovia, but I don't recall him
ever mentioning him.

O'dette say that it was the "Six Lute Pieces from the
Renaissance" based on Chilesotti (and made famous by
Segovia) that inspired O'dette to seek out a lute. He was
studying them on the guitar and he took the title of the
piece seriously enough to find a lute.
