I really like Brooks and Dunn's album, and "Boot Scoot Boogie" is one of the
best, for lack of a cleaner term, shit-kickin' songs of the year.
Just wondering, what do other people think are the best "boot scootin'"
songs out there this year? I like the Garth and LeDoux duet, and 
"Cadillac Style" by Sammy Kershaw, maybe "Achy Breaky Heart", too.

What do you think?

I too think it's her best album.  Which is really saying something, since
she was my favorite before this album.  I loved "The Hard Way", "He thinks 
He'll keep her" and "I take my chances".  I have listened to almost 
nothing else since I got this album almost 3 weeks ago.  

As long as I am typing, I looked through my Indigo Girls albums after I noticed
the Mary-Chapin mentioned them in the acknowledgements.  Sure enough, in
"Indians, Nomads and Saints" and "Rites of Passage", she is mentioned. One
of them even credited her as "the person who made music my god".

Not too mention the outstanding album he did with Chet Atkins.  Mark
and other members of Dire Straits have been showing up as studio 
musicians on a few Nashville produced albums recently, and it
seems to me I have seen him credited as a writer on a few songs
recently too.  As a former rock listener, and a fan of Mark's ever
since "The Sultans of Swing", it's good to see him following me over
to the country side of things.

Agreed. We've been playing the CD  over and over at my house, and when we

just had to go. I didn't mind the 45-mile drive at all, and you can't beat

I got the text of "O Bene mio fa" but unfortunally I had time to read just one
time, then the expire program erased it (we had a lot of problems last days with
the net!). However from the text (I don't remember the exact words but I got 
the sense) the "due hore" can be referred to the 2 am. This because in the first
stanza the text contains the word "sera" (evening) so there should be no doubt 
the text means the lover would wait for his woman until 2 am. However, due to
the shortness of the stanzas, is quite diffucult even to an italian to extract
a sense, also because, as remarked by Beth, this kind of lyrics are not written
using a literary italian but rather some dialect inflexions. I think, however, 
many times the text of such songs are not really meaningful but they are just a 
pretext to the music.

Yes, I agree. Another advantage in this way of singing should be also
intonation because the sound should be more clean and stable in pitch, allowing
the so important for this kind of music "natural" tuning. Bye,

I don't know exactly what kind of information you need, however these are some
suggestions. 
The gut frets should have different thickness depending on the position on the
neck. Generally speaking the three frets more close to the pegbox should have a 
diameter of 0.9 - 0.8 mm, the three more close to the body of the lute a
diameter of 0.6 mm and the other 0.7. This is an historical practice described
in a lute book preface (I don't remember the author). In this book was
suggested to use gut of thickness equal to the strings of the third order for 
the three frets near the pegbox, equal to the first order string for the
nearest to the body and finally like the second order for the others. However
because now the gut strings are manufactured quite differently than in the
renaissance, this rule should not be keep litterally. 
The exact position of the frets on the neck attains more precisely to the kind
of tuning you want on your instrument. I normally begin putting them at
definite positions and then slightly move them to get the best tuning.
The frets should be knotted two or three position nearer to the pegbox. This
because the neck is conical and in this way you can tighten them when you
pull them in their final position.
The knot is impossible to draw here. There is a particular one that is well
suited to tighten the fret before you tighten the knot itself. Remember to
burn the extremities of the gut coming out from the knot. In this way the gut
is hardened and becames impossible for it to slip lossening the fret.
I hope this could be of some help. Bye,
							Francesco

I have this CD.  It's a "speculative reconstruction" with some music
dated as much as 5-10 years or so *after* 1595.  It's essentially a
full mass (including the chanted parts not normally performed in
concert) plus some "extras" (like the fanfare for the entrance of the
Doge) which are nicely done ..  the fanfare starts out "off in the
distance" and gradually gets louder.  I have no idea whether they did
this by marching towards the microphone or by playing with the mixing
levels in the studio.

I use SCORE (Passport).^^  You can define your own noteheads, and the output      
does look nice even on a 24 pin dot matrix printer.  Files can be edited. 
And what I like best (I wish I had had this feature when I was doing my
master's thesis) is that I can copy and paste the output into my text via 
Microsoft Word for Windows.  No more cutting and pasting (with scissors and
glue. 

The manuals for Score 3.0 have been redone making working with the program
much easier than v.2...

A publication that I find particularly useful is "Computing in Musicology: A 
Directory of Research.  Edited by Walter B. Hewlett & Eleanor
Selfridge-Field.  It is pubished annually and is available from the Centre
for Computer Assisted Research in the Humanities, Menlo CA.  Amongst other
things, this book has a listing of various music software, with a short
sescription of what the software can do, some examples of printouts (but not
for all the software), who uses the software and what it has been used for. 
I have noticed that there is also a software package called Plainsong which
is under development at the Royal Holloway and Bedford New College (Computer
Centre, Egham, Surrey, UK TW20 )0EX, England.  The e-mail address given in
the 1991 directory is C.Harbor@vax.rhbnc.ac.uk.  (Catherine Harbor). 
According to the directory, PLAINSONG is a series of programs for
transcription, analysis, and printing of music in black square notatin on a
four line stave with C, F, D or G clefs.  Apparently it runs on an IBM PC
and can be used with Dot matrix or Postscript printers.

Good Luck.

Bose Music in Framingham, Mass. claim they can get you anything
that's in Schwann's "Spectrum" (popular music) or "Opus" (classical
music); that's something like 60,000 popular music titles and 40,000
classical music titles. Their (800) number is at the back of "Spectrum"
and "Opus", or dial (800) directory assistance (1-800-555-1212)

A few months ago, someone posted to this newsgroup recommending an album
of Renaissance brass music (including music by Gabrieli) called (I think)
"A Venetian Coronation."  I'm interested in buying this CD, but haven't
been able to find it.  The closest thing I saw in the catalog at Tower
Records was a title something like "Venetian Brass" performed by members
of the San Francisco and LA Symphonies (?).  It didn't mention Gabrieli in

Subject: David Munrow's `Art of the Netherlands' on CD
Date: 28 Jul 92 13:03:43 GMT
Organization: Department of Computer Science, University of York, England

Wonder of wonders! EMI have just re-released the three LP
recording of David Munrow and the Early Music Consort of
London's `The Art of the Netherlands' on two CDs. (EMI
Reflexe CMS 7 64215 2). Despite having made enquiry, I do
not know whether the other recordings EMI hold will follow.

There are a few troubling matters, however. While the total
timing is 69'50" a side, the box carries the small print "This
2 CD set forms a conspectus of the 3 LPs originally issued
under the same title". I'll have to wait until I get home before
I can see what they've missed off. Also, the new programme notes
by John Milsom, referring to Josquin Desprez, state "for every
authentic work by Josquin there is a spurious or misattributed
piece, and Munrow unwittingly chose a number of the latter". (The
new programme listing corrects the original.)

I shall conclude by quoting some more from Milsom's notes:
"David Munrow will be remembered above all as a champion of
old and long-forgotten instruments, and of works that stand out
for their curiosity value no less than their intrinsic quality.
Himself a virtuoso player, he was drawn towards glittering
music that called for deftness of hand and lip. No other period
of early music [than that of the C15 & C16 represented on
this recording] offered such rich pickings of challenging music
that would show off the vivid, unexpected, colours of pre-Baroque
instruments, and the skills of his specialist performers. The
result is a kaleidoscope of scores that are individually brilliant
and demanding by the standards of their day. Not everyone will
agree that Munrow's vision of the art of the Netherlands offers
a fair conspectus of the repertoire; but even the sceptic must
stand in awe of such an exhilarating and characterful recital".
