Ummm, Wendy Carlos' Switched on Bach is an amazing recording, not lame,
period. I'll bet very few virtuoso Bach curators/specialists could pull it
off on a MOOG synthesizer. The MOOG is very primitive by today's standards,
and it's amazing that she could pull off anything close to that recording.
I sing and self-accompany. I think the Vihuela is much easier to play if you
are a singer since it has a pretty flat back. The lute moves around much
more if you are standing while you play due to the rounded back. I have a
56cm (really small) vihuela by Cezar Mateus that is amazing. I hardly play

Anybody know of collections of English bawdy songs, catches, or drinking songs
arranged for Ren (or Baroque) lute and voice? Purcell's catches would be very
cool. Thanks in advance and have a happy holiday season.

I think sometimes damping can be confused with preparing the bass notes on
10c-13c lutes (especially on Baroque lute). Preparing the thumb on 10c-13c

with all those bass strings!
