 vihuela and flamenco?

Sorry for cross-posting this to all the lute and guitar sites, but you can't all be on every news group...?
I've created a new website for Monica Hall, Gordon Ferries and myself. Other pages will be added later. Here are few 'highlights':
Monica Hall - very useful excerpts from historical citations on how to string a baroque guitar (to bourdon, or not to bourdon), with original texts and translations into English along with Monica's commentary.
Gordon Ferries - booklet notes from his CDs of Spanish and French baroque guitar music, essay on Sanz, MP3 files of full tracks from his CDs. His essay on Shakespeare and music will follow in a couple of weeks.
Rob MacKillop - Vihuela page [includes MP3 files of recordings not available on CD (four of Fuenllana's exquisite Tientos, and a hopefully interesting insight into the rhythmical structure behind Narvaez's 'Guardame las vacas'), and free scores in French tab]; Contemporary Scottish lute music (MP3 files from premiere concert - baroque lute and oud); free complete editions of 'guittar' music by James Oswald and Robert Bremner; Essays on 19th-century guitar performance practice, especially improvisation); and the connection between Roslyn Chapel (for all those fans of Dan Brown's 'The Da Vinci Code') and the lute.
Where is it? www.musicintime.co.uk
You will need Adobe Reader (or similar) for some of the essays in PDF.
For those of you who email me privately, please note my new address: rob@musicintime.co.uk
I created the site for people who have something to say but don't know how to make a website. If anyone else is interested, feel free to contact me. I want to limit it to half a dozen people, so there is only room for another three.
Cheers,
Rob macKillop

Rob,
Thanks for posting that, man.
I really didn't know that Gordon played so well!!
He's a really nice guy, and really helped me out at the Dundee Festival.
Beautiful guitarist!....I'm Amazed!
I can see why you guys drifted into Flamenco!
Anyway....will see you both at the Paco Concert on Wednesday in Edinburgh!
Prepare to have your forethoughts blown away!!
This is like a pilgrimage to me..
Two days off work and a 5 hour journey both ways..
(Henrik I'd love if I could sit beside you in the theatre, just to share the vibe!)
cheers
Ron

Ron, I think you are confusing Gordon Ferries with Gordon Milne - both good friends of mine. Gordon Milne is the contact for the Dundee Guitar Festival. Gordon Ferries plays baroque guitar rather well...
