> being a poseur - piqued commentary borne of envy, perhaps? If I understand the inference, then not in my case, I have Labyrinth which I bought out of curiosity; I think it's pretentious because Sting reads some of Dowlands letters. I'm no great Police Fan and no great lover of Stings solo work either. Otherwise it is a pleasant album to listen to.
I came to the Lute and decided to learn the instrument by listening to the brilliant Dutch Guitarist Jan Akkerman, who IMHO makes Sting look a rank amateur in more ways than one! - Neil -----Original Message----- From: bill kilpatrick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 24 November 2006 17:07 To: lute list Subject: [LUTE] Re: Sting! just out of curiosity, does any negative, contemporary criticism exist for the way dowland performed? did anyone record the comments of others or personally put pen to paper, accusing him of arrogance or being a poseur - piqued commentary borne of envy, perhaps? - bill Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
