I hereby propose a rule that any lute (or similar stringed instrument including, but not limited to, guitars, banjos, mandolins or bouzoukis*) posed at an angle of greater that 45 degrees requires the services of Space Sheep.
*But not ukuleles – no one can possibly take those things seriously.

So that’s where they got the idea for Peter Davison’s regeneration.

@THX: in 1984, casting Ian Rush as the sixth Doctor would have reversed the ratings plunge, if nothing else.
(But now I’m imaining ‘The Mark of the Rani’ with a Scouse Doctor in a shell-suit telling rioters ‘Eh! Eh! Caaaaalm down, la’)

Just for once I want to see a Heroic Fantasy musician who plays a sackbut.

@THX & Tat W: If this relates to Doctors five/six why is there a big weeping angel? I expect it’s all because of the wibbly-wobbly-timey-wimey, especially being published back in 1984.
@Francis B: …and when you’ve just regained your composure after seeing some uncovered piano legs only a year ago.
@Fred: He has a sack, but he keeps his lute in it.

Even after a six hour drive up to the mountains, Damiano & Belinda just couldn’t get away from her parents.

Is this one of those good-angel-bad-angel-working-on-his-conscience situations?

Looking at the wingtips I think it’s a-good-angel-working-on-a-psychological-impotence-situation.

On the larger version, Damiano looks a bit 70s: white man’s afro, and is that a pornstache, or just shading?
It’s not an _ugly_ cover but IMHO, it looks like something of a ego-stroke for Damiano: not only does he have a lovely woman shoving her boob in his face, but apparently his soul (or possibly crotch) is important enough for the forces of heaven and hell to compete over.
@Bibliomancer: I’m not sure if that is a demon? Doesn’t have the usual horns, etc. On the other hand, the hair is a bit too Dragonball Z for good guys in western media.
@fred: as pointy as those things are, I’d want them well away from my junk.

One Damiano, a lutist,
Had a babe who, while not quite the cutest,
As they snuggled up close
Under demons morose
Sighed “You know I’m quite skilled as a flutist.”

@Bruce: Play some funky madrigals white boy?

It’s set in early Renaissance times and there’s a dude with his lute, the archangel he talks to, Satan who’s after him, a lady, which is all true to the book… and yet there are bazongas front and center grabbing all the attention. Also yon damsel has her own backlighting.
Not a terrible cover but it just doesn’t work.

“I’m dying… but before I go, I have something important to say…”
“Yes, my love?”
“What does the fox say…?” [*gack*]
“Damn you! Damn you to hell!!”
