Mailbag: Mr. Paul in Venice

My buddy Paul Rangell has an artist-in-residence thing going on in Venice, Italy... far from his hometown of Santa Cruz, Cali! Aside from wonderful reminiscing and travel-brochure-worthy passages that've graced my email box, there have also been photos... and in this post... photos from a museum full of antique instruments. The first three pics are instruments made by Luigi Mozzani c.1915 while the last is unknown.

I will also leave you with this totally bizarre snapshot -- which is clearly not as lovely as the photos of canals, random police boat sightings, and high-class food -- but is perhaps what's most etched into my mind from his travelogue!
