Thread Name: early music - the pink album
Subject: RE: early music - the pink album
I've never come across the pink album Leeneia but, around the time you're talking about (late sixties), I was a music student (in England) and very, very keen on early music.

David Munro was the person I listened to most and I bought every recording of his. Also, Anthony Rooley was a big influence.

Since then early music has become much more popular in this country and I think David Munro was probably the catalyst that boosted that particular reaction.

Both my daughter and I play recorders in an early music group and our Friday night rehearsals are the highlight of our week! The other members of the group (lute, cornamuse and violin) say the same; we all play more modern stuff as well but it's the early music we enjoy most.
