Dear Collected Wisdom,

I turn to you once again after long silence, mainly dictated by my total 
ignorance of much of what you talk about. I found the 'little finger' 
discussion 
most interesting, as I have never come to terms with using it, my fingers 
simply being too short to stretch as required when the LF is stuck to the sound 
board.  

I do have a question, the old chestnut, I know, but is it known who wrote 
Greensleeves? Some say Henry VIII, another says Dowland (that one was new to 
me, 
not that it signifies a great deal), and other countless candidates have been 
named. I've looked in Grove, on the web, and asked around, but no one seems to 
know. I would be grateful for any suggestions, or even the actual composer, 
if possible. It would be useful as the friend who asked me would, for some 
obscure reason, like an answer, and I am not able to provide it. 


Kindest regards

Tom Beck
