It's Ian Anderson's six-string with a capo on the third fret, playing along with the lute. > Is there any "interview" or the like comments on the > use of "lute" there? See my earlier post about the liner notes. BTW, "scurvy" is a bone disease caused by insufficient vitamin C. A lime is a sour green citrus fruit, similar to a lemon, and high in vitamin C. I suppose you can't grow citrus fruit in Finland. British sailors, and thus Britons generally, became known as "limeys" because they reportedly brought limes on board to prevent scurvy (though I've heard they actually used lemons). I don't know what Roman meant in bringing it up. Nor, for that matter do I understand how your reference to Hendrix and Handel ties into whatever the subject was. It's not necessary to enlighten me...
