Katie, I hope this isn't too late to fill our work place. We had our home broken into Friday evening and lost most of our electronics (my lap top, Mel's monitor, and several other things. We have had tospend much time changing numbers and pass words and file claims. then Saturday my Aunt died and so the last three days were involved with funeral arrangements and visitations etc. On monday we had to take Mel's mom to the hospital where she will probably stay for several days and then be a bit vulnerable when she comes home. the bottom line is that now we have neither the money, time, or freedom to come to Washington for OTW this year. it is a great disappontment but it doesn't seem that we have any choice. Mel's Dad is doing poorly too. Even if the time and money situations cleared up, there is too great a chance that we would have to cancel at the last minute anyway. I am so sorry and will stay intouch as to next year. Ann for Mel too

We appreciate the work-study program and are already signed up. With air fare too, OTW would be an impossible dream for us otherwise. Maybe some day when we get the gurdy business grown, we will be able to recipicate in kind. Thanks again for all your hard work. I will send our registration and check in a couple weeks. Take care.

Brochures will be going out this week, but you can find the brochure on-line at: www.overthewater.org The Over the Water Hurdy-Gurdy Festival 2010 will be held September 14-19 at Fort Flagler State Park near Port Townsend, Washington (USA) The Over the Water Hurdy-Gurdy Festival brings together hurdy-gurdy players, builders, and teachers for intensive instruction, jamming, fellowship, and good food. Classes cover melodic techniques, rhythm, repertoire, and instrument setup and maintenance, with instruction tailored for beginning through advanced players. Evening events include instructor concert, an open mike, and many jam sessions (including slow jams for those of us who don’t learn at warp speed). On Saturday evening we will gather for a dance party featuring live music by Festival participants, who collectively form the largest hurdy-gurdy band in the Western Hemisphere. Our instructors this year are: Thierry Nouat, Hurdy-gurdy in the French Tradition; Tobie Miller, Early Music; and Scott Gayman will be instructing beginners. There will be some Focus and Speciality classes and Instrument Set-up and Maintenance. Some loaner instruments will be available at the Festival for use by players who don’t have hurdy-gurdies of their own. The Over the Water Hurdy-Gurdy Association is a nonprofit group that promotes use and enjoyment of the hurdy-gurdy and disseminates information to players and the general public on all aspects of the instrument, including history, repertoire, and playing techniques. We hope to see you there. If you have any questions, please send an email to: [email protected] Katie Roe OTW President Hotmail has tools for the New Busy. Search, chat and e-mail from your inbox.
