Also, a great many high-powered Plectrum Players Play with Pinkies Planted! Where did these gosh-darned PPlectrum-PPlaying PPinkie PPlanters get their ideas from anyway!? Clearly all those rockers, folkies, bebop artists and country music "chicken-pikkers," not to mention bluegrass banjo and mandolin players who Play with Planted Pinkies *must* have been taken in by spurious lute scholarship, otherwise planting the pinkie would never have ocurred to any of them! ;-) ;-) David Rastall [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.rastallmusic.com -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
