Brilliant! Lute lobbyists are the answer, as demonstrated by Mr.
   Dubrow's experience.  For the cost of one nuclear sub, the entire lute
   world could carouse in luxury.

   How does one get others interested in lute? Marketing.
   All lute players should contribute to a hollywood lobbyist fund where a
   lute 'product placement' could be made in the next historical film that
   utilizes swords and corsets. Better yet,let the hero seduce the heroine
   with a lute song, and re-establish the lute in popular culture as the
   seduction tool that it was meant to be.
   Look at what the movie "Doctor Zhivago" did for the  popularity of the
   Balalika (seriously).  Maybe a lute tax could be tacked on to every
   lute purchase and lute string purchase to pay for such a lobbyist.
   Marketing takes money.
