To be fair to Renaissance magazine, the guy who reviews the music CDs seems to really know his stuff and I believe he plays lute. I forget his name. I haven't received any issues for some time, maybe my subscription ran out or they changed owners again. I'll have to look into that. -- Ed Durbrow currently in Grass Valley, CA USA http://www9.plala.or.jp/edurbrow/
