Dear Lutelist, there have been some wishes that I send also this Christmas some links to the pages of the _real_ Finnish Joulupukki ( = Santa Claus - Father Christmas etc.). So here are some
http://www.santatelevision.com/index.html - info and everything in 11 languages http://www.santaclaus.fi/?deptid=8044 - pages of his home town, games and much more http://www.santaclausoffice.fi/ - his office and webcams etc. And a year ago I made also some not too difficult arrangements of Finnish Christmas carols for 10 course lute in renaissance tuning. All those songs are known also in other countries. You can find the tabs as pdf files in page http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/wikla/mus/10_courseLute/Carols/ Merry Christmas, or holiday time by some other name, to all lutenists! Arto To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
