The great, great Nigel North--to whom I bow down--great performer,
great teacher, great man--I think I first heard of him in 1979 (or was
in 1980?) at the English Summer lute workshop--I don't know. But any
excuse to hear him play will do, any. (I used to play lute, the photo
is from 46, 47 years ago? from a concert we did...) I'm much older now,
almost too old--the years go on--but Nigel North is GREAT! Any excuse
will do to hear him play from any of his years.

I looked around after the first WTF moment seeing all those real
persons, and found this on the BLEMF website:
"To keep us all in the mood for live performances, Bloomington Early
Music is thrilled to present an online festival with daily
presentations via Facebook and YouTube Live! Please join us from May
17-24, each evening at 7pm (4pm on Saturday), as we celebrate a set
of performances from a wide variety of artists and ensembles, most
of whom have their artistic roots in Bloomington."
Pretty vague, but it sounds like they're telling us the festival is
a collection of recorded performances from different times and
places (fine with me; Youtube is Youtube), without actually saying
so in as many words.
And yes, it's still Weiss. And Nigel. And someday I'll tell my
grandchildren that I was there, at my desk, for the premier upload
whatever of this concert. At least until I had to get off and go do
something else, which is right now.
And thanks to the good doctor for letting us know about the concert.
