The sky was a fair bit clearer in those days - so the distance resolved was greater then. Thom mentions this a few times. One of the rows in Bolton has the sightline for the moon heading toward Anglesey but we'll never see it nowadays - maybe in 2015 there'll be less atmospheric dust.
Found the concept of the citara in an account by Dioscorides (?) and his Temples of Apollo. Dictionary gives 'harp' for citara. The tunes are notated mainly in books of our traditional jigs and reels. In Gadalinium - and there's two parts to it - both the interviewer and the interviewee are genuine, only the squeeks and whistles are phony.
