Subject: RE: What you are listening to now!
I have a fair collection of Baltimore Consort CDs, plus CDs of individual members of the group. Several of Ronn McFarlane on the lute, and one each of Custer LaRue singing British and American traditional songs (probably wouldn't meet the approval of folk purists, but nicely done nevertheless) and Julianne Baird (likewise).
I took in a concert by the group a few years ago at Seattle's town hall, and had a chance to chat for a few minutes with Ronn McFarlane.
There's quite a bit of interest in Early Music here in Seattle. Several groups, plus individual performers such as e.g., Elizabeth C.D. Brown who, in addition to modern classical guitar, plays lute and Baroque guitar—no idea what the "C.D." stands for.
