Not my preference, either. Hoppy Smith does this sort of thing all over his de Visee album and it seems like lots of folks really enjoy that recording. Sounds too disruptive to me, but I love the album anyway. > Had he chosen gut bass strings > and additionally put > his right hand closer to the bridge, I don't agree about the gut strings, but I will agree with you on the right hand position. (I think most players could move toward the bridge.) This is hard to do on such a large instrument as he's using, however. Funny, though, far from finding the basses "thundering" as you described in a previous post, his sound was a bit too gentle for my taste. On the other hand, I don't think it would have sounded the same way to a listener in the room (as opposed to the mic being right in front of him). > I wouldn't > hesitate to declare him > the winner >:) Don't know - there were things I liked about both. Lislevand approached the piece as a straight-ahead dance while the other performance was more rhapsodic. Both are worthy, but I really like to hear it somewhere between the two. Fortunately, neither one was competing on "Lute-God Idol."
