If you're primary concern is self-promotion, or if you live in a world where no differentiation exists between iconography and real life, then yes, you're going to want to edit yourself. But if neither the arrogance rat-race nor the dreeeeeam world appeal to you, and all you want to do is share your music-making with others, warts and all, just for the love of the lute, which I've always believef was the reason for having the lute list in the first place, then I don't see that the "Golden Age Is Over." That's nonsense. Best, David Rastall dlu...@verizon.net www.rastallmusic.com -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
