oh i don't know... i'm riveted. i think it's interesting to speculate on the music and musical instruments that were first brought to the new world in the 1500's. what became of them - how they adapted - is not as important to me as discovering if they've changed that much at all. for example - please pardon me while i repeat myself - would anyone care to speculate on the origins of the various tunings that are found in south america? should they (the present day tunings) be considered as imports or do you think they evolved in the new world? regards - bill
