Very, very nice David! And nice kind of an office you have... ;) And the baroque guitar really suits and adds up to certain parts of the Maria vespers by Monteverdi. No question of that instrument being "inappropriate" to the sacred music of M's time and place! There are lots and lots of sacred songs of those days that really are swinging dances! We northern protestants just spoiled the joy of the music of the counter reformation... Just some severe hymns sung badly in unison... And then later the overly "serious" and un-joyful "passions" by a certain German late baroque master, who since then have been raised as kind of semi-god of music... ;-)
