hello Hurdy Gurdists! as a new HG list subscriber, i thought i should introduce myself. my name's Kevin Millard, i'm a 39-year-old Seattle musician who has yet to get his hands on a hurdy-gurdy. (i play mostly bass guitar, and also 2-handed tapping instruments such as the Chapman Stick/Warr Guitar.) i've been in love with H-G's - their timbres, the buzzing bridge, the kinds of music they're often used in - for several years now. i suppose the watershed moment for me was when a friend lent me her CD of Hurdy-Gurdy's "Prototyp." haven't been the same since. (i'm not much of a traditionalist, if you haven't guessed by now.) i'd like to get to the Over the Water Festival this September - it's really criminal that i haven't made it yet, it's so close - for at least the Saturday night concerts & dance. i'm considering doing the whole festival, but without an instrument nor any lessons yet, i'm not sure that would be the best way to jump in. (comments?) any Seattle area players, especially teachers, please do give me a shout directly! cheers all, Kevin. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get more from your digital life.
