Ah, two sensible countries. I must be honest, I've never noticed while in Europe. I have always "seen" it as a dot. New glasses needed maybe :) that makes 123,456,78 an interesting number . Decimal POINT not decimal comma. Can't they do anything right. At least we have decent 3-pin plugs (what are those things in France???? Two holes and a metal rod - usually with wires hanging out as well). Up is off and down is on. That's obvious. We're right, everyone else is upside down.

Colin, I believe all countries in Europe (except UK) use the comma as the decimal separator I don't think any one else uses comma as a thousands separator 110,00 is 110 Euros UK and USA use the decimal point The UK has to be different The only country where switches are Up for Off Graham -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Colin Sent: 11 September 2008 16:55 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [HG] Chants des Vielles festival (was 1660 pelican flight case) Don't understand these Euros. http://cgi.ebay.de/Drehleier-Hurdy-Gurdy-Laute-Lute-Vielle-a-Roue_W0QQitemZ130253631792QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item130253631792&_trkparms=72%3A823|39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A12|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 Is that 11,100 Euros or really 111.00? (That's about $200 US). I thought the "," should be followed by three zeros for thousands. Is this a scam?

Me also (I only started the musette six months ago). I agree, it is wonderful to play for dancers and also to play with other enthusiasts of traditional French music. I hope you can get to a festival in France sometime. Les Brayauds (Fete du Volcaniques) in July (north of Clermont-Ferrand) is incredible, for one. But also here in North America there are occasional gatherings of central France music enthusiasts. Several of us who come to Over the Water are excited about French trad. Also, at Lark in the Morning camp in Mendocino (coastal northern California) at the beginning of August, there are a few very good players of hurdy-gurdy, musette and diatonic accordion. I'm very glad to hear you got to have that experience!

Salut Sylvain - You must have gone to Chants des Vielles, the wonderful little hurdy-gurdy festival near Montreal that the Le Vent du Nord guys put on every year. Roz and I went to the first one about four years ago; haven't made it back, unfortunately. So much fun, and everyone so friendly. Ben Grossman is a fine player, incidentally, and very knowledgeable. I think he may have been the hurdy-gurdy player on the last Lorena McKennitt tour that was recently televised. Mitch Gordon Guerneville, California, US p.s.
