Is it foolish of me to keep trying?

Yes, Yngtchie, it is.

What I do notice is that I'm probably the only sensible guy still participating in those discussions, the only skeptic.

indeed. people like to believe.

You of all people should know that arguing on YouTube is futile.

Urgh, you're right, I just gotta ignore it, tempting as it may be.

Checking out a Swedish lute in a local antique store. Should I buy it?



A catalogue image of what I believe is the same model, Levin Model 105, introduced in 1937:

if you can play this and show it to us....

This would be closer to the instrument I'm holding:

Did you end up buying the lute then?

Haven't gotten my ass to the town where they're selling it, but I'm crossing my fingers that it's still there.

so, vicente amigo was in los angeles in march.... i just found out about it now... someone please kill me (and all the bastards/promoters that kept so quiet about it)

Hey George,
I recently found a website called 'Eventful' that sends you e-mail alerts about artists in a radius of app 100 miles around your home. Try it.

As punishment, you are not allowed to listen to any guitar oriented music for the next 1 month. That should be better than killing you.
