Sean:
My list with annotations.
Capirola - something for everyone and it looks cool
Phalese, 1568 - good variety of mid-century continental music
Dowland's First Booke, 1597 - English ayres for every taste and ability
Board ms. - good survey of English music from J. Johnson to
transitional tunings
Varietie, 1610 - something to work toward

> Yes, I know, 5 books is mighty limiting but feel free to add a second
> 5 books if you need. As I see it every player has to start somewhere.
