[BAROQUE-LUTE] Re: The comet is coming!!! Bruce Lamb
Let us hope this means we'll all have a little less comet-induced bad luck! Just picked up two Renaissance lute cases manufactured by Bruce Lamb in El Cajon, CA. Instead of asking him to make protective polypropylene cases to enclose wooden or other rigid lute cases, I asked for smaller cases enclosing lutes without any additional internal protection. The results are better than expected, with strong enclosures which are both light weight and attractive (black coffins are especially attractive to a pathologist). For sure, they are way more functional and much easier to carry than plywood cases. As Bruce explained, the less weight, the less risk of shock damage to the instrument or case. Bruce is now working on a theorbo case owned by a lucky Montreal musician whose theorbo is intact, though the case was recently badly fractured by an errant airline during a trip to LA. Bruce currently has very few orders, but I surely hope to obtain more of his handiwork before long.

[LUTE] Re: RT: Margit Hjuxe, for lute
This time with the correct URL (maybe.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=484_jFlZ7AI A version of RT's setting of the Norewegian folk song, Margit Hjuxe, for lute (here in Renaissance tuning). It's a troll song - 'troll' not as Dowland couldn't write counterpoint and he got his divisions from Band-In-A Box. Discuss. but 'troll' as supernatural creature. The troll in this song, a mountain king with a long white beard, drags off poor old Margit who was on her way to church one day. Many verses - and 14 years later, and the birth of several children, old beardie lets her return home. But quickly snatches her back again.
