I have been stuck here for awhile. I must be going about it wrong. **spoiler** I know where to get it. I need it and a certain spell to get something from the bard that will help me on the page for the cat spell, right? I have a keen idea on where it is at, but, getting that lute will be the death of me yet.
I even bought drinks until i threw up.
even took a certain spell before hand. still can't get it. what am I doing wrong? If this had been posted, sorry for reposting. I searched a little but did not want to spoil anything ahead so, decided to just come on in and ask. I broke down and found someone do it on you tube..I take the spell, goto the wall to get it, but it won't let me. I have talked to the bard to where he ignores me, so, what am i missing?
oh good grief. see, I knew it was something simple that I was missing. geez. tried taking it off the wall alright, just didn't think to go back and talk to her afterwards. 
Sorry for the stupid question, and thanks for the help!
