Hello everyone!
My name is Alina Larson, I am sixteen years old and new to the world
of Hurdy-Gurdies. I didn't know anything about this instrument until
just recently, but have unwittingly enjoyed its sound for quite some
time.
Do any of you know of Loreena McKennitt? I saw her in concert just a
couple days ago. It was an excellent performance, and I really loved
the Hurdy-Gurdy which accompanied a few of her songs. My favorite
song was Santiago. An old favorite, actually. I was off of the edge
of my seat for most of that song...
I do not own a Hurdy-Gurdy as of this moment, but have purchased one
via eBay just last week--with my life's savings, I might add.
I was wondering if anyone on this list happens to live in my area. It
would be nice to have a tutor, or just someone to talk to about the
Hurdy-Gurdy. I live in Berkeley, California and am purchasing a
Szerényí Béla Hungarian Tekero.
I am also new to mailing lists... I hope my introduction was well-
constructed. I should probably get back to homework, now...
I can hardly wait for my Tekero to arrive! Any advice, information or
comments are welcome and eagerly anticipated on my side. If anyone
knows anything that they would like to share with me, it's more than
welcome :-D
Thank You for reading!
~Alina Larson.
