Michael, Just for your information, I understand that is Hurdy Gurdy is the 4th most written for instrument in French Baroque. So just because the teacher has not spent the time to do the research doesn't mean he is right. Also, I believe if you brought him a copy of "Un-Ledded", Lorena McKenna, or Arcade Fire he might understand that the "commercial" aspect of all instruments is solely based on what some record producer or manager feels is 100% salable. Most people are not willing to take a "risk" on something unknown. I mean look how Slumdog Millionaire, Star Wars, and Rocky Horror turned out to be such a huge commercial failures....oh that's right they were just treated as failures before they became huge. For evidence of HG in the future of Rock just look at the many Celtic Rock groups that are beginning to spread their influence through the US. I was told by a bunch of HG admirers that they were at a show and a group they never heard of before came on and began playing. Before they started the guys were on their way to get some drinks and they ended up staying and watching the whole set. The band Eluveitie is now their favorite band and one of the reasons is the HG. What this means is that some people are short sighted and just look at what makes you commercially viable versus what makes you happy. Keep cranking and someday when the time comes make sure to mail the professor your CD. By the way you are doing great on your videos. I applaud your devotion to the HG and your ability.
