The Theater came to me as a very religious work.
It is a work of complete dedication.
It's a dangerous work.

	The plays of "Shakespeare" were written by William Shakespeare, Gent., of Stratford-upon-Avon (1564-1616) in collaboration with his fellow members of the Chamberlain's / King's Men and various other playwrights, including Thomas Middleton and John Fletcher. To learn about the amusing debate that this simple statement of historical fact can arouse check out these three sites: Shakespeare Authorship Shakespeare Oxford Society Francis Bacon Authorship Evidence The Marlowe Society

I play finger-style blues and ragtime guitar, Appalacian dulcimer and ukulele. My favorite musical instrument store is Elderly Instruments in Lansing, Michigan. They started out as neighbors in East Lansing and now have a large store and do a world-wide mail order and internet business. If you are in the market for a guitar, banjo, dulcimer or any other traditional folk instrument, instructional books or videos, or cassettes or CD's of traditional or folk music you should check out their web site and get a catalog. Find guitar music at the On-Line Guitar Archive, (OLGA), Active Guitar Harmony-Central.com / Alltabs.com / Tabalorium / My Songbook Singout Magazine You should also have a look at Acoustic Guitar Magazine. And these sites for two of my favorite acoustic guitarists: Pierre Bensusan * Woody Mann John Fahey tablature Among electric blues guitarists there are none better than Jon Paris I also strum a ukulele Alligator Boogaloo / EZ Folk Tabs Dominator / I play harmonica, though not very well Harptab / Harmonicas and Stuff / Harp Depot /	Mississippi John Hurt
