Dear members of the hurdy-gurdy community, We are very pleased announce the availability of a CD of the instructor concert from the 2006 festival, which you've seen a little part of in the YouTube videos of the concert. This CD is available only as a premium for making a donation of $40 or more to OTW.
Here's a tax-deductable way of supporting a great festival AND getting your hands (and ears) on a unique CD - possibly the greatest concentration of hurdy-gurdy talent ever collected in one place in North America. The recording was made from the stage microphones, using gold-sputtered large diaghragm condensor transducers. a tube preamp/ADC and a 24-bit digital recorder. The recording was then mixed and mastered at Bois de Mallorne Studio. We are most grateful to our instructors for approving he recording for this distribution. Sending us a donation will help to underwrite the production and mailing of the 2007 flyer and other festival support. To get the CD, please send a check for $40 or more to Over the Water Hurdy-gurdy Association PO Box 24332 Federal Way, WA 98093-1332 Please include your mailing address and your email address. We are presently working on accepting donations via PayPal, and we hope to have this option available in the near future. Another way to support the festival would be to let us know that you're willing to receive your flyer and other materials electronically, which saves us the cost of printing and mailing. Send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "Flyer address" in the subject line. We'll retain your snail address, but we'll send you information electronically by preference. Thank you! Alden Hackmann President Over the Water Hurdy-Gurdy Association
