[LUTE] Re: Ruthenicae
February 19th, 2009 Dear Lutenists and Roman: What a wonderful presentation of Roman's music. Quiet and beautiful, haunting presence, as if Russian steppes in the background. I am trying to get back in the studio again, struggling artist syndrome. The Lute goes slowly, the guitar less so . . . love, Rebecca Tea at Tympani Lane Records [1]www.tympanilanerecords.com __ So many new options, so little time.
