First all many thanks to Wayne for his great work in these decades! I totally agree about Facebook. It has nothing to do with the lute list as we know it. What about just a simple Google discussion group? It is very easy to maintain, it is free and can keep all the past messages. Actually, it

I agree wholeheartedly with Ralf, David, Francesco, Martyn, and Ron Andrico comments. I'd also like to thank Wayne for his many years of service, and wish him a happy retirement. In addition to any privacy, security, and 3rd party monetization concerns, it's also important to remember that

Please do not take the suggestion about using Facebook to replace the lite lis seriously. It was just a question that was asked and no decision has been made to use it. I agree with all the comments about Facebook being inappropriate as a replacement. I run a number of non-profit

I second Francesco's remarks entirely. Especially thanking Wayne and hoping we can continue with a Google list rather than Facebook. This list is much more serious, and importantly less intrusive, platform for debate. Best wishes to Wayne for the future, David At 15:19 +0200 4/9/20,

Well said Ron, The lutelist format and its arrangement is clearly much more suited for the proper and serious, but still enjoyable, exchange of views and for sharing information. It may be seen by some as 'old fashioned' (and I'm not sure what this really means in this context

I'm guessing that it was an oversight to copy the entire lutelist with this message thread, which shares some awkward ideas (and language). Nevertheless, the personalities involved need to understand that there abides an intelligent segment of participants on the lutelist who will

Jurgen, While I think Google Groups has good mechanisms for sharing ideas and content (without algorithm-based interference like FB has)...and aside from Google's business model of harvesting data for search purposes, etc., the bigger practical issue would be setting up the group to comply

Hi Tristan and all, "Le Trésor d'Orphée" is a very popular print with players interested in the music of the early 17th century, different from Vallet, Besard or Ballard. It is one of my frequent sources to perform from, but I would certainly not qualify its difficulty "moderate" !!! For

The year 1600 saw the publication of "Le Trésor D'Orphée" by Antoine Fracisque. It's a very beautiful print so I made my own book and played through it. That is one great album! Apart from the innovation of alternate tunings, the music itself is amazing. I thought I'd steer the attention to

I agree, some of the pieces require virtuosity. But I found that the fingering is quite logical, and most pieces still sound good when played slowly. It's not a ride like Eysert, or Terzi Intabulations... When I wrote 7c I meant: if you have less than required number of diapasons, 7c is still

As much as I share the privacy concerns with google I wonder if that is of a major concern for our discussion about lute music. Fronimo uses google groups and it never occurred to me that google hijacked posts for advertisement purposes. Follow and log users, yes, but then again... ‐‐‐
