Hi Chris,
If anyone can do a CD of Byrd, Ronn can. Maybe sometime in the future
we can look forward to one. I also enjoyed his own compositions when he
played here a few years ago. Smart move to put his music in guitar notation,
as well as tablature.
BTW, one of my all time favorite recordings ever... is Glenn Gould's
recording of Willaim Byrd, and Orlando Gibbons. According to Gould, they
were his favorite composers as well.
