We say he who goes out in the rain is to get wet - here I go into the rain -
hopefully only water, not bullets.
Regarding the posted vimeo - nice music, sounds ok to 70's-psycodelica-trained
ears but to me it seems the lute is not played like a lute, has nothing to do
with a lute but for actually being a lute. Could have used a paraguaian harp to
the same acoustical effect. But a lute looks so good! And who would deny we see
music as much as we hear it? Why is everybody sharing vimeos and youtubes and
not plain .wave or .mp3 archives?
Nevertheless, why not play the lute like a guitar? If one in ten
guitarists/bassists who take up the lute and play it like a guitar ends up
falling in love with, say, Dowland, it will turn it into having been
worthwhile! They do not have to mingle with the highly educated
Castiglione-cortesanos of today's oude music who play the lute reclaiming
long-gone ways to make and experience music. As says Gadamer, we cannot escape
doing it within our own sweet horizon. So...
Jim Jarmusch, Sting, great people. They are ok! (The kids are ok, too!)
We have a saying here - Propaganda é a alma do negócio, roughly meaning that
advertising is the soul of any business...
But maybe this Jarmusch video should not have been posted here - I would not
post the uses made of the lute in christmas shopping center decoration here, as
it does not belong here. What do you think?

Poor balance. I think they should have turned the lute amp up a little :-)
