Lyre Gauloise

 It's funny how the unique sound of a particular instrument is somehow characteristic of an age. For instance, I feel the guitar is the "voice" of this age -- both the acoustic and the electric, but to my mind, especially the acoustic.  

There was a time when that instrument was the lyre.  Here is a duet on the gallic lyre, and it calls to mind a haunting and bygone era.
