Last night on the way to my viol consort rehearsal, I exited from the West 4th Street subway station. I saw a black guy in huge dreds playing a guitar up ahead and wondered what he was playing. When I got close enough to hear (which was *very* close), it turned out he was playing some early music that I identified as likely to be Elizabethan lute music. It was *beautiful* and oh-so-very-quiet and small-scale. Unfortunately, I was late for rehearsal and couldn't stop and enjoy! But I'd be thrilled to hear him play any time. -- David W.
