[CITTERN] Re: steen's company on a terrace

[James A Stimson]

Dear All:
 Isn't the cittern, both in painting and literature, a symbol of
promiscuity? The image of a cittern on a barbershop wall suggests that it
could be played by anyone who walks in.
 And isn't "cittern-head" an old insult, akin to "wooden-head?"
Cheers,
Jim
