Lundberg's book has been on my shelves for about five years (give or take).
I also have David van Edward's on-line book. Medical problems stopped my
scratch lute building temporarly, but I find the combination of the two to
be worth having. David covers things that Robert left out, and Robert
Dana,
I spread muck year round, others call it my emails. I no longer garden, live
in an adult condo. My cat is upset as my peg-leg doctor today told me that
my prosthetic shouldn't be modified to let me bend more deeply to give her
the belly roll scratch that she seeks whenever I come home.
I don't have my references handy for this, but I believe that the
term 'cat-gut' grew out of
a commercial marque in Germany. 'Kaet' was a trade name,
apparently a successful one,
and the term 'cat gut' derives from this in the same way as
'kleenex' has.

Yet another theory - this one involving Welsh Troubadours (eh?) -
from Babolat - a French company that still makes gut-strung tennis
racquets:
'...in the Middle Ages Welsh Troubadours played an instrument that
sounded like a cat meowing. The English called this instrument a cat

I've set the following text for lute and voice and am still revising.
I am wondering about line 23. What do you think it means? Just simply
cold, as in 'a nip in the air'? or does 'blood' have something to do
with 'foul'? I don't get 'ways be foul'. I guess tu-whit is
onomatopoeia and not
Dear Ed,
I feel sure that 'ways be foul' means that the roads
(such as they were in those days)were hard to travel on
due to the weather. So 'blood is nipp'd' is, I think,
a straightforward reference to the cold. 'Roasted crabs'
are crab apples, not the crustaceans! This is all
straightforward
Owls do generally say tu-whit tu-whu, the roads/paths (ways) will be
muddy, puddly and no doubt icy and difficult to use, hence foul, and I'm
sure you're right for nipp'd.

Just take the William Ballet Lute book version, play ABAB as long as the
song goes on the same melody... works just fine...

On the French news, yesterday, they spoke about having to reduce the
height of the wind turbine (wind mills) as their effect was slowing
down the earth's rotation by a degree or so, and making clocks run

I'd go for strix aluco, allowing for local dialect and of course the

Poetry from this time is constructed in such a way that the words do
not have a single interpretation.
This creates a kind of layering effect. If you flatten it, you lose
the meaning.
Another way to look at it is as if it had hyperlinks.
So if the poet says dreary instead of foul, you lose the
