As long as we are on the subject of videos ...
Those of you who are not regular surfers on YouTube may not yet know that there is now a Lute Society of America channel: [1]http://www.youtube.com/user/LuteSocietyofAmerica#p/u The clips there so far were all taken at the 2010 Summer Seminar and Lute Festival in Cleveland at the end of June. It is not professional footage (in fact the first video I have ever made), and I am sure no professional videographer would have tolerated the conditions in that hall. The lighting is mostly lousy and was out of my control. There is permanent hiss of undetermined origin messing up the high frequencies, and the air conditioner rumbled away through all the concerts, except that Nigel somehow managed to get it turned off. Note that all of it is captured live in concert, so there was no going back to fix imperfections in the performances with a second take. For all the caveats, I think there is something there to be enjoyed, and it presents a modest sampling of the amazing variety of wonderful music we were immersed in for a week. Stay tuned; there will be more to come.
