What? No love for Frederick Noad's, The Renaissance Guitar? That's
where I found my first breath of fresh airs. Guess I'm a dated 70's
man. "Ain't got time for disco, babe, gotta make Holborne fit on my
geetar." Then I saw Roger Harmon play his Zanetti at the local 17th
century music hall and I knew where all this was going.
But 8-track, Dan! For me real historical lute music has four
monsterous KA-CHOCKS in the program. Records, sheesh.

Well, the "SIx Lute Pieces..." got me- a young classical guitar
student- somewhat interested in lute music, but it was Karl Scheidt's
guitar arrangements of some of Dowland's lute solos and songs; at
about the same time I first heard Julian Bream, that got me interested
in the LUTE. That was when my poor guitar teacher- Peter C. Colonna of
South Philadelphia- finally threw up his hands in despair and declared
"I've lost him- nothing but 99 string monsters & obscurity in his
future!"
In my case, guess he was right. As I mentioned to one friend on this
list, I dodged a bullet vis-a-vis Segovia and bullying. When I
attended the master class at the Accademia Chigiana in Siena all those
years ago Segovia had pulled out and Alirio Diaz ran the class
instead- a fine, sympathetic teacher (and killer virtuosos player) who
helped each different student reach his or her own goals in his or her
own best way rather than just manufacture clones in his image. I was
already "intabulating" (I didn't even know the term!) my own
performing versions of Morley's madrigals- Diaz was totally supportive.
I remember that old Vandervogle Giraffenlaute cover on the old
Respighi album cover. (They were still turning up at Amoeba Music a
few years ago) That also made me want a lute- but not THAT lute!

Being a little older, it was Elvis who first got me thinking I
should
have a guitar.

Actually, Paul told me that his idol as a young player was Eric
Clapton
and he was thrilled to have finally met him at the Grammys a few
years
ago. Maybe Paul was also inspired by Segovia, but I don't recall
him
ever mentioning him.

O'dette say that it was the "Six Lute Pieces from the
Renaissance" based on Chilesotti (and made famous by
Segovia) that inspired O'dette to seek out a lute. He was
studying them on the guitar and he took the title of the
piece seriously enough to find a lute.
