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 -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
