This guy (sorry, can't remember his name!) is here from Cleveland. He is restoring art work at the Ford Museum. He is a hugely talented lute player as well as art restorer. He's a medieval rock star! He plays music that was played 450 to 500 years ago in taverns. His lute is strung with sheep gut and had to be tuned several times while playing, as the heat from the lights stretched the strings. His lute comes from British Columbia, made by the finest lute maker in the world......pretty interesting guy, really cool to hear and watch him play. Wish the pictures were better and wish the camera had audio as well as video.....
