Hi, I just joined this group and thought I'd introduce myself. I am a 58 year old librarian in Berkeley California. I first heard a hurdy gurdy when I was working the parking lot at a Fox Hollow music festival back in the 60's. A woman was playing it at the top of the hill and I dropped everything I was doing and just ran to hear it.//I lived in Europe 5 years and hitched to the museum in the Massifs Central in France which is just on hurdy gurdies.// And I did an arranged marriage long ago in London to get someone from a war-torn country into the US, and the pay was supposed to be a Sam Palmer hurdy gurdy! (I still don't have one and I still crave one, maybe when I retire.)// I just discovered the nyckelharpa and find it a combination of my two favorite instruments, the hurdy gurdy and the viola da gamba. That's all for now...Lynne
