Thanks Brett. It is a crazy instrument. It is amazing what people learn to play.

I've noticed that solo hurdy-gurdy is nearly always displayed in the control of a comely lass. German player Patty Gurdy is a good example.

| I have nothing to add to the Hurdy Gurdy Discussion. I just wanted to say hi Bret and I am glad to see you back on the forum and posting. |

Donovan (a hippy singer back in the late '60s) had a hit record called "Hurdy-Gurdy Man", and I always wondered why the instrument wasn't featured in that song?  |
