To the list: Please remember, too, that there are many like me who are silent readers most of the time who, late at night at the end of a long busy day at work, relish the chance to read others' opinions on the often arcane but relevant points and issues on matters of instruments, stringing, repertoire, performance practice and interpretation. I don't frequently make postings but benefit hugely from the chance to read the frequently colorful conversations that go on.
And when I go back to my chair and music stand and take up my vihuela or lute, somehow all the conversation that I've read in cyberspace can make all the difference, whether it is a matter of knowing another version of a work or else just keeping in mind the contrasting points of view on the performance of a phrase or issues on tuning. So, I like staying on as a subscriber to all the lute-related lists and I like the variety of postings and contributers, too!
