Dear Vance, Art, Stewart, Stuart and All,
How nice it would be indeed, Vance, if we could but sleep it off,
wake up to find it has all been a bad dream. It is a bad dream, a
living nightmare for so many people out there, troops and civilians.
It is not a subject for this list, but I have to
Thank you, Anthony, for your thoughtful and thought-provoking summary.
I believe musicians caught up in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
also have their share of problems, like oudist Samir Joubran, for
example, who cannot perform in most of the Arab world because he is
an Israeli citizen.
(Arto's occasional off-topic posts are fine with me.)
1) I've just glued on a very simple bridge. As usual, I didn't think it

I think the strings are the right height. But I've made the holes on
the bridge far too far
Arto, lest you lose lutenistic perspective: I have made an arrangement of a
Swedish political folk-song http://turovsky.org/music/Tungor2.ogg by the

I saw a news segment on Egyptian oudist (is that a word?) Simon Shaheen
collaborating with an Isreali violinist (I think it was Shlomo Mintz, but don't
recall). I wish there was more of that in the popular news media. Kudos to
your efforts, Doc.

Are you dealing with an instrument that you don't want to ruin, or is it an
instrument that is impossible to ruin.
Thanks for the reply. I'd always go to a professional maker for repairs
on a good instrument.
I'm just playing around with an inexpensive oud that was given as a
present. The
Perhaps Munir Bashir always knew that Islamic environment is not good for a
musician, so he lived most of his life in (Communist) Budapest.

Dear Craig, Stephen, Sean, Jean-Marie, Arthur and All
I am not sure whether this is an answer to your question; but two
weeks ago I saw a Turkish Oud player using a technique that looked
very similar to the so-called Renaissance thumb-over, as shown in
many paintings, see Jean-Marie
Yes, a little complicated, but I'm sure we can all stumble along... ;-)

I think the conflictual situation in Palestine is central to the
problem in the whole area where old cutural links are breaking under
impossible tensions. You may consider your attempts to help people
find or keep open such cultural links as lofty and naîve, but any
such effort, I am sure

politically neutral, just because they are musicians);
Of course not, but how about keeping our political beliefs, religious
beliefs, preference in computer operating system (often more strongly
held than the first two) OFF THIS LIST??!!
We all have a life separate
i'm an american and an oud player and i resent like

world war. i know there were reasons
