Runaway (Del Shannon) as played on a Renaissance lute

[Otto_Harper]

Who woulda thunk you could play Doo-Wop era music on a 16th century instrument?

(This is one of my favorite all time pieces, and I love 16th century music, so what could go wrong? Glad I found the video)

6. I just have to tell you, as a player of a 37 stringed instrument

the single comment I most hate is when someone comes up and says (in full NYC accent):

"Jeez. Lookit all them strings. Howz doya know which ones to hit?"

10. Certainly didn't intend to be hateful.

11. Sorry it came off that way. My comment wasn't aimed at you in any way.

Your comment just triggered one of my pet peeves, unnecessarily. I'm sorry if it sounds like I was on your case. I was not.

13. When people make that comment, they're complimenting you! It's beyond our ken that anyone's

Brain can handle so many strings! But I know how you feel. When people asked what I was studying in college and I'd say ancient Greek, it got to where my smile was already there because I knew "It's all Greek to me" was coming! Oh, well, I knew they were trying!
