My daughter fell in love with the Sting CD, and we would sit in the loving room where I'd have to reproduce the lute parts from tab while she'd sing. The highlight was meeting Sting at a concert at Jazz at Lincoln Center in NYC (about seven years ago) where we sat four seats away

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)

In my opinion, only a handful of extremists claiming to defend the purity of the music would belittle Sting's recording. Even some of the terrifying recordings of lute music by some real bad players on YouTube have a least one positive impact: On the player him/herself. The

My daughter was eight when his CD was released. I used it as a lullaby for her. The next morning she asked about it, and I said, well, you can sing the songs you like best yourself. Children of that age can learn rapidly. Can She Excuse, and Now, Oh Now, and Come Again were her first three Dowland

Dear Arthur, dear Stephan (and all other lute friends who emailed me), thank you for your really precious indications! It looks I was a bit silly (or maybe more than a bit), but you helped me an awful LOT. 1. I just ordered a copy of "Bachiana et alia musicologica" for about 23 Euro including

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

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

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

In 2010 I was playing lute at a street fair. A guy introduced himself to me who owned a recording studio. He offered me free studio time just so he could learn how to record it. He said he'd been fascinated by the lute and dreamed of recording one every since he first saw Sting with

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

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

[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

[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
