slated to appear are National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master Jon Hendricks and Grammy-nominated

Middle Ages and Renaissance musical instruments such as the sackbut, krumhorn and lizard still have
a place in a world increasingly dominated by MP3 files, computer chips and synthesizers, thanks
to musicians like Jack Ashworth and his early music students at U of L. A virtuoso on dozens of
antique instruments, Ashworth specializes in music dating from roughly 900 to the early 1700s.

Maybe, according to Lee Dugatkin, professor and distinguished scholar of

journals on the evolution of animals' social behavior, also has been quoted
on the topic in National Geographic, Smithsonian magazine and other publications.
