This popped into my YT feed today, an interesting version on one of my favourite instruments.

It seems that in the Baroque period they also "got up this morning and their baby done gone"

This sounds strangely right, I guess Jimmy Page must have discovered an old manuscript. Apparently all Renaissance lute shops banned people playing this.

Wasn't Robert Johnson around in the 16th Century ?  |

Wasn't Robert Johnson around in the 16th Century ? There is an old tale about a musician who hung around with Robin Hood that some people say was known as Robert Johnfon. Apparently he (backed by the Merry Men) recorded a song for Robin and Maid Marion that was so popular it went to the top of the charts and stayed there for eight hundred years. Luckily, for Johnfon this was before streaming. An eight hundred year reign at Number One is estimated to garner just £23.50 on streaming services. |

Wasn't Robert Johnson around in the 16th Century ? Indeed he was lutenist to the late Tudor, early Jacobean courts. He composed some of the music that accompanied Shakespeare's plays. Here is me playing a couple of his Almains on lute. His baby also done him wrong. app.box.com/s/y8t2w78k7qfe52mhzcg0jnk0gwhotbb3Colin |
