-> Rabbit fur was traditionally used for making the wide-brimmed "Akubra"
-> Australian stockman's hat.  (Have you noticed that on TV, all

-> 
Those are felt though, right?  Fur coats where the fur is still attached to
the original pelt always "shed" eventually.  Rabbit is the worst, I'm told. 
In a felt form it wouldn't be a problem... and a great use of rabbits. 
American farmers have to deal with rabbits too, but the feed caps are often
freebies.  It beats paying shipping and import duties on an Aussie hat.

Logical.  There was no point in bothering.  

->  RH> I first heard of Ravi in connection with the Beatles.  I'd never

-> 
-> Anoushka is a composer and a classical pianist as well as a sitar and
-> tanpura player.  She began touring with her father at the age of 10.
-> In 2002 she wrote a book about Ravi, "Bapi: Love of My Life".

Neat.  I hope he's proud of her. I'm not sure what a tanpura sounds like
off-hand, although I've probably heard one before.

You said the magic words - ginger, coriander and lamb.  If I didn't have
corned beef on the stove it would sound like dinner.
