I hereby propose the following theory: Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina is a fiction; much like Santa Claus, if you will. You see, I, among a host of thinking people deem it impossible for one man from Rome to compose such a large oeuvre: 105 masses, 68 offertories, at least 140

Hey, did a little research about the portuguese guitars. Players never don't play directly with the finger tips, but with the nails. Even then, many choose to use fingerpicks and not the natural nail. These picks were traditionally chiseled from tortoiseshell, but are now made from
