I'm about where you are with that . No kids around, so the afternoon
is pretty much grub and football. I will bring the HG and people will
view it as a threat and Bob's yr Uncle, etc. With any luck I'll get to
go home early and play. I think I'll go play right now.....
Later, Roy

We had our annual Winter Solstice party this weekend and my
family was treated to (subjected to?) songs and carols on the
Hurdy Gurdy for the first time. The kids went nuts - what a
treat!
Dear Ian--
I envy you a bit. The adults in my family have politely asked me
not to bring my h-g along ever, even though the kids like it.
Never mind that I have been playing it in all weathers for six
weekends at the Louisiana Renfest, and that a crowd will
gather there just to watch me tune... Not that I'm bitter. But all
the same, I got to play a selection of carols at two Christmas
programs in one of my schools, and the kids went wild both times,
stomping and cheering and clapping. So I have carried that around
to warm me ever since, and I'll still be smiling at the family
table on Christmas, even though I'm not playing for them. The
music is still playing in my head.
Cheers,
Alice
