the "origins of fingerpicking" thread reveals that an early parlour song "Vestapol" was so popular that it was used as a name for "open D" tuning. (1) What is a "vestapol"? (is it like Sebastopol in the Crimea?) The search engines are all clogged up with "vestapol videos" from S. Grossman.
(2) Is it a song with words?
(3) Anyone know any good recordings?
