Vance, I'm with you, I just mentioned the banjo finger picks as I know of them (tried 'em, hate 'em). But I wonder at what you say of the lute - I thought (from previous messages when I first joined the list) that lute players not only didn't use fingernails but also wanted soft flesh on their

Hi Jon, if you take a look at a facsimile of medieval music you'll see it has something of a translation but usually is also a setting (transformation) into our (modern) musical language. best wishes Thomas Jon Murphy [EMAIL PROTECTED] am 28.12.2004 12:03:11 An:

Happy New Year Charles, That would have a precedent, as in the English use of love for zero as a score in tennis (a game that was first recorded as played in 1255, but in the indoor court that we in the US call court tennis, the English call royal tennis - and the French jeu de paume -
