Slacker post: John Dowland

I'm in one of those states where I feel like it'll take more time than I have to think of anything worth typing, so I'm putting up a copy I made of John Dowland's introduction to his First Booke of Songs, which I copied from CD liner notes, but since it's a facsimile of the original I figure it's in the public domain, so there.

I first discovered John Dowland in 2001 when I bought In Darkness Let Me Dwell, an album released on ECM with tenor John Potter (an alumn of the Hilliard Ensemble) and associates interpreting Dowland's songs accompanied by lute, baroque violin, bass clarinet, bouble-bass and saxophone. Good stuff.
