Thanks Ron, 

Thanks for posting those great quotes.  I get quite a kick out of the last few 
pages in Burwell.  Here's my favorite warning.

"To play in taverns, that never happened but to a man in Paris (who was paid 
for his abuse by some learned of the lute, that made cinnamon beaten in 
breaking the lute upon his head)." (Dart, 61-62).

Cheers,
Jorge
