For the section called: The Best Accessory to Facilitate Binocular Observation While Playing the Guitar, I nominate the following invention. Remember those devices that allowed singer-songwriters to play the mouth-organ at the same time as the guitar? With only a little modification, one of these could hold a pair of binos and as the artist sang lines like 'Where do you go to, my lovely?' he/she could observe their loved one and find out!

Back to the land of dreams.......

Nice story Kevin, I learn something everyday. It must have been a boom in advertising for Fujinon.

Indeed a really nice read that article you linked Kevin, thanks. There is plenty left to be found in the world and luck favors patient, prepared observers.
