Bighatlady, Even though the hurdy gurdy cannot really be heard, I enjoyed the video!
Bruno, it would be interesting to listen to your music. You are surely quite gifted. 30 years of playing, wow! A shame your site does not work. Now I`d sincerely suggest you to spend at least one year of your remaining many years in learning a bit of modesty and humility... and how to write a worth-reading comment . Moreover, if you feel tired of what other people enjoy, I suggest you to rest, sleep or hibernate from the scene (but please don´t babble or snore in the mailing list).
