  • I tried that at MY library and was kicked out!!!

    I don't understand!!!

  • Wow, really like the second piece! :-)

  • Hey man forgive my question... What kind of pick are you using?

    By the sound it does not seem a normal plastic/guitar one...

  • I just LOVE renaissance music!

    I always hear it at the ren fairs! And it NEVER gets old! ^^

  • Interesting sound. Thanks for posting.

  • Truly excellent!

    Are the ways of cheaply getting hold of one of these beautiful instruments?

    Best wishes,

    Jamie

  • Very Nice, but isn't the first selection "The Carmen's Whistle" by Byrd? Very fine playing, thanks for the performance.
