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

[LUTE] Re: "Sting Effect" (was Direwolf Hall)

I've always enjoyed Sting's musical offerings, and was encouraged by his lute diversion. However, I was quite disappointed to see a close up of him in some sort of ensemble with a third fret very obviously loose and surely buzzin' like bee. I would like to have seen him take a second to

I must admit to significant eye rolling when I saw the subject line. Here we go again, rehashing who liked the CD and who didn’t (me). I also thought that we already knew the much anticipated (to the point of sycophantic fawning across the pond) Sting Effect never materialized in a big way. No

Definitely, Sting's CD had a tremendous, though possibly transitory, impact. My first gig (tryout at an Italian restaurant in Cincinnati) was in 1977. "What is that thing you are playing?" said the owner, followed by "Not loud enough!" He hired a blue grass band. Next gig

Hey Ron, David, it's not only early music... if you're into contemporary music, it's the same. For early music I have one advice: go practice in the park, if possible. I do, and though I am but an amateur looking for some good time with other musicians, there's feedback everytime. Might boost

[LUTE] Re: "Sting Effect" (was Direwolf Hall)

There is a definite increase in lute awareness due to the Sting/Karamazov effect. Jim Jarmusch and his band Squrrl started collaborating with the lutenist Josef van Wissem, and that resulted in the soundtrack of Jim's penultimate film. And that resulted in a quite of bit of a solo career on

[LUTE] Re: "Sting Effect" (was Direwolf Hall)

Sting raised at least my interest in the Lute. Mainly because of Karamazov, but still. It also led to "Singer-Songwriter Time Travels", a series of concerts where contemporary singer-songwriters were covering old Lute songs or similar Early Music. This worked surprisingly well. Am 07.09.2017

[LUTE] Re: "Sting Effect" (was Direwolf Hall)

Harsh words, I liked Sting's effort. Karamazow also made a fine input. On the whole, lute-propagating I think. G. On Thu, Sep 7, 2017 at 11:18 PM, LSA Lute Rental Program <[1]lsaluteren...@gmail.com> wrote: no effect noticed.Perhaps that is because Sting did neither

no effect noticed. Perhaps that is because Sting did neither Dowland nor the lute any service? Not an "artist" I would have chosen to sing Dowland...or anything else for that matter. On Thu, Sep 7, 2017 at 5:04 PM Edward Martin <[1]edvihuel...@gmail.com> wrote:
