Phooey. I'd possibly be interested but don't have an instrument to play. I'm
a complete beginner too. :(

Subject: [HG] NE gurdy gathering (USA)

Greetings all,
I am trying to arrange a Northeast Hurdy-gurdy workshop and things are
starting to take shape. R.T.Taylor, an excellent gurdy teacher (if you
don't already know) has contacted me and would like to come to the
Northeast on the weekend of June 23rd.
The workshop would be held in my house in Chelmsford MA (about 40
minutes Northwest of Boston - exit 32 off 495) Meals would be served there
as well. Lodging for workshop participants would be in the local hotels
which are about $100 a night (some a little less, some more - some a lot
more). I can send out more specifics on lodging info later. If everyone
wants to stay in the same place, I'll work on getting a gorup discount.
My house is an 1800 brick colonial - it's a pretty cool place for a
workshop and I think we will have enough space there. House has 2 cats and
2 dogs but it's fairly allergen free - we have wood floors and my husband
is a neat freak so it's pretty well vacuumed. It's also smoke free.
Here's what I'm figuring:
Price of workshop: $125
This includes meals 3 for Saturday and breakfast and lunch on Sunday and
instruction by R.T. Friday night, Saturday and Sunday (till afternoon).
It's going to be an intensive hands-on training.
You will need a working gurdy for this workshop. There's no expertise
level required. He said he'll tailor the workshop to the needs of the
students and feels confident that he can get absolute beginners up and
cranking very soon.
We need 6 people to make this work and we need committments fairly soon.
The reason is that I am going to fly R.T. here with some frequent flyer
miles that my husband has amassed but these tickets go fairly quickly. If
we were to pay for his ticket, it would add another $50-$100 to the cost
per person.
So that's the scoop - please email me if you are interested and also
indicate your level of play and whether you play a D-G or C-G instrument.
Also feel free to forward this to anyone you think would be interested in
attending.
Hope to see you all in June!
- Jocelyn
