Paez?

2005-02-20 Thread Garry Bryan
Greetings! I just came across an interesting set of variations of Guardame las Vacas last night. It's entitled Seis Differencias de Bacas and is attributed to a Francisco Paez. I've never heard of him. Can anyone shed some light on the piece or the composer? I'm assuming that the variations

That's very interesting Stuart! Thanks for sharing. I'd never heard of Pesori. I'm assuming that the tablature piece is actually (more or less) standard tablature and not some variant? BTW, the Pegasus looks...ummm...perversely gratified :) Garry -Original Message- From: [EMAIL

Oh dear! Does this mean that I don't actually own M31, M33,NGC253, or Canopus? I had such plans! Intergalactic domination was only a death ray away. ( I was going to trade Canopus for something with a northern declination though; I thought Algol would be a nice base of operations ) :) Seriously,
