This was interesting (among all the responses that I deleted...) to
someone who was involved in the early years of lutes & luting...I knew
Robert Lundberg BEFORE he knew a thing about lutes! (He died of cancer
in 2001, God rest him...) & the book that was published a few months
after he died, HISTORICAL LUTE CONSTRUCTION by the Guild of American
Lutheirs: Daniel Shoskes is right--& the blissfully talented large
number of very gifted lutenists! I'm reminded of the first lute I had,
a GLUTE (terrible thing!) & watched Bob & his wife as they plunged into
lutes, going to Europe many times, the course he taught in Germany over
10 years--surely lutes deserve all this attention, good bad or
indifferent! Praise be!

I've always enjoyed Sting's musical offerings, and was

him in some sort of ensemble with a third fret very obviously loose

surely buzzin' like bee. I would like to have seen him take a
second to
slide it into place.
