I met Paul O'Dette more or less at the time this video was recorded. It was in Italy, in Pamparato in summer 1984, at the Early Music Summer School, where I was studying the lute. Paul gave an impressive recital, in which he displayed his superb musicianship and technique, and also his sense of humour: when we called for an encore, he sat, grinning under his beard, started off a Ricercare by Capirola which he then turned into a blues improvisation. We laughed the room down.

Interesting to learn a bit about the lute. At times it looks as if though he's playing with a pick, though that's just him being very efficient with his fingers.
