The lute has been getting a lot of attention lately, thanks to Sting's new cd, "Songs from the Labyrinth", a collection of lute songs by John Dowland. See Sting Plays the Lute. It's nice to see the lute regain a small portion of its former glory.
If you have heard Sting's lute music, you may find that you want to hear more. I hope you will enjoy these videos.
