I found a nice web site, owned by a maker of fine-looking medieval and renaissance instruments. Some of you might be interested. Point your browser to

Thanks Mockingbird, looks interesting to me
Do vintage or very, very old instrument collections ever tour through cities like other museum and art exhibit tours? And if so, how would I be able to find out about that?
I think that would really interest me.

Little, oh, I mean Banjo Bonnie

Can we still call you Little Neo ?

Anyhow, I never heard of an instrument collection touring. Maybe some other Mudcatter has. It sure would be nice.

Until your idea catches on, the web at least gives us two-dimensional views of some collections. A number of them are linked to http://www.s-hamilton.k12.ia.us/antiqua/links.htm.

Bob Dylan wrote the song you're looking for. I hesitate to post it as it's his and with all the crap Max is going through...

But I love the song --- "Boots Of Spanish Luthier"

I didn't know that Lutherans wore boots in Spain Art. Damn if I ain't learnin' somethin' new here all the time.

Hi Mockingbird
I tried the sight but my server said try again. Taking too much time I guess
Of course you can call me Little Neo.
I kind of miss it. Some how I feel a bit of pressure carring a name like Banjo Bonnie. I feel I'm expected to know how to play well. But when those I respect advise me 'it's time to move along little buck', I listen.
Since it's just you and me on this thread right now, can I tell you a story?
I was working on the computer a few weeks agos when I heard the call of a blue jay (kind of a distinct sound). I turned around and saw him on my balcony railing. He had a shelled peanut in his mouth. He looked my way, put the peanut down on the balcony railing and proceeded to fly away. When I went out to see what it was he had left, I saw him fly by far in the distance and call again. Interesting hugh?
I still have the peanut and keep it as a reminder that that is exactly what I am. A little peanut in the world of musicians.
Little Bonnie Neo Banjo

Spaw...to Lutherans in Spain,the High Boots were a commonly understood protest against the knee-deep Catholic Horse-shit of the time.

I was just being Inquisitive Leej...Thanks for clearing that up. Helps me to understand why Olsmobile doesn't employ Lutherans too...must be a Catholic company, what with calling one of their cars a Toronado.......

Spaw-Yeah, I know, its a stretch, but.........
