So, twenty-five cents ill spent then? At least the investment wasn't a major one.

I know the new-age drivel whereof you speak; there's rather a lot of it in California. I confess I have little patience for Stewart's particular take on mysticism, but I do love that psaltery and have also admired the man's skill at tune-weaving. I had friends play his beautiful "Processional" (or was it "Recessional"?), from The Unique Sound of the Psaltery at my wedding.

For whoever wanted a picture of that psaltery, there's a sketch of it at http://www.discogs.com/release/1219811. There's a photo of it, I think, on the cover of the aforementioned i>Unique Sound LP, but I haven't found it reproduced online.
