My daughter and her husband paid a visit last weekend from Virginia in
the States where they live.  And did they come bearing gifts!.  A CD of the
Classical Banjo featuring John Bullard.  J. S. Bach, Domenico Scarlatti and
G. F. Handel played on a BANJO of all things.  It sounds remarkably like a
harpsichord but without the sharpness of the instrument.  It's beautiful,
if not hypnotic, music.  It does not appear to have a web site, but the
issuers name and address are:

   Dargason Music
   P.O. Box 189
   Burbank. CA,91503
   (818) 846-4981

All you fretted instrument fans can take heart.  You have a perfectly
accepabe place in Classical Music.

Sincerely.
