well, there are still "two-bit" deals out there, but those are too
risky, in this day and age.

As far as I remember, a lady walking with a lute in Venezia (XVIth
century) was considered a prostitute.

Lute in a brothel was a large Dutch sarcasm, lute being a symbol of
domestic harmony in the baroque visual symbolism.

There is a piece in Dd.2.11 entitled: "Catin" (by Orlando di Lasso!).
Yesterday I saw one entitled "la pute". What are the odds that
neither
title would not refer to their modern meaning of "prostitute"?
This also reminds me of the not so secret behind "green sleeves".
Dutch paintings show many scenes of lute music with at least
hints of
seduction or prostitution.
But it can also be easy to jump to conclusions. I thought Lasso was a
rather serious composer...
