Dear Brad, List If Mexico is part of North America, yes. In the sacristy of the Mex-City cathedral, in churches of towns like Nurio and Cocucho in the State of Michoacan, in the town of Tlacochahuaya (? I'm not sure this is the town's name) and in several poems. I think there's even mention of a tiorba, in poetry, but I don't have it with me.
