TABERNAKEL
In 1974 Jan Akkerman released Tabernakel
And since 2011 that's what this blog has attempted to tackle
So if today you find this blog and are tempted to mock or cackle
I hope you desist and become a fan, even though it's all a bit ramshackle.
This blog is even more niche than any of the others. I began it in 2011. It can be found here. There are over a hundred posts there at present. I like the album, which contains music from Elizabethan lute through to modern rock, and wanted to know all I could about it. Hence the blog.
Most popular post on the blog, not sure why, is one on Thomas Morley who wrote a pavane that Jan Akkerman plays on lute on the album. You can find it here.

'Cause Thomas Morley rocks, that's why...
Coolest of the English renaissance composers.
His settings of Shakespeare's songs are still unrivalled.
And there was me thinking John Dowland was the man ....
That's an excellent point! Dowland was the coolest. Morley was the funkiest.
Thanks for the clarification ;-)
