I remember the 60's well enough that I still enjoy listening to that stuff once in a while. David R Hear, hear. IMHO a lot of good tunes came out then. My indicator of a good tune was if I can whistle it and someone else recognise it, it is a good tune. How much of today's music can be

Consider also that a 10-course lute has more strings than a double-neck guitar. But only one! (Goeran) That's the one that's used the most too! Ron (UK) -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
