[BAROQUE-LUTE] At last! A book of easy lute pieces with accompanying CD/downloadable recording
Dear all The Lute Society, in conjunction with www.magnatune.com is pleased to announced a significant development in modern lute learning/teaching: the first book of easy lute pieces with an accompanying recording [as far as I know] since Tony Rooleyâs âNew Varietie of Lute Lessonsâ of over 30 years ago. The recording is Jacob Heringmanâs âBlame not my Luteâ, and you can download it from www.magnatune.com, - which in case you didnât already know has a free, try-before you buy, live streaming option - and not just samples, you can hear the whole thing before deciding. Or you can buy an old-fangled CD from the Lute Society if you donât want to / canât download. The music on the recording is the whole of the book of â58 Very Easy Piecesâ, published several years ago. The repertoire consists of popular Elizabethan tunes and grounds, as found in the Lodge, Dallis and Ballet lute books, material from one of Le Royâs tutor books (of 1568), and Italian dances from Carosoâs Il Ballarino (1581) and from a manuscript now in Bavaria. If you want a copy of the CD, or the book, or [hopefully!] both, just email the Lute Society secretary, Chris Goodwin, for details: [EMAIL PROTECTED] best wishes Chris Goodwin To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html

This is the second time in a few months I ha= ve=20 been contacted about this, and have circulated a warning.=20 Here is a typical message from a fraudster, and below that an explanation=20 from the police of how the scam works.=20 - Original Message -=20 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2004 7:56 AM Subject: PURCHASE =20 =20 Hello,=20 I'm really interested in buying your 10c lute 63.5cm, by Bernd Holzgruben=20 as a gift for my Son.

Added - Wednesday, 16 July 2003 8:32 Detectives in Avon and Somerset are warning people about a sinister new =C2=B3on-line=C2=B2 fraud. People who offer their vehicles for sale on the Internet, are being targete= d by the unscrupulous fraudsters. The =C2=B3potential buyers=C2=B2 =C2=AD usually located in another country=20= =C2=AD contact the sellers with a proposal to buy their vehicle after spotting adverts on the Internet. The offer is usually coupled with an explanation that the buyer has a chequ= e due to his business from another source and that the cheque is in a larger sum than the agreed cost of the vehicle. The seller is then asked if the cheque can be made payable to them to cover the cost of the vehicle with a further request that the difference is forwarded by the seller back to the buyer. Det Con Andy Davis of Avon and Somerset Police=C2=B9s Fraud Squad said:=20= =C2=B3We believe the scam is being operated by West African crime teams. There have been a number of approaches to people in the force area during the past few weeks. =C2=B3It is known that cheques when sent to the sellers, are either stolen=20= of forged. Any difference between the price of the vehicle and the value of th= e cheque, if sent back to the buyer, will be a potential loss to the victim.= =C2=B2 It is well known that these crime teams - who operate from all over the world - regularly bombard e-mail users with requests for personal or compan= y bank details in order to transfer huge amounts of (fictitious) money, with an offer of large financial rewards. Those who take up these invitations inevitably end up losing considerable amounts of their own money.=20 It now seems that these same people have diversified and are now trying to con vehicle sellers out of their money. =C2=B3Our advice to anyone who is approached in this way is to immediately=20= cancel any dealings with the person concerned. There is no logical reason for anyone wanting to pay for goods in this way and people selling vehicles are advised to seek more regular and secure methods of payment such as a banker=C2=B9s draft,=C2=B2 said DC Davis. 2.
