Hello Maxou, what a great story! It feels warm to read about that and I think you maybe should not only write a tune about that but maybe a novel.
Just returned from Blankenheim where I particpated a stage with Gilles that means 5 days fully packed with hurdy-gurdy and other music so I ams still in drone mood so the story somehow touches me in a perfect way. I am really happy for you that the instrument is back.

Hi guys, I forgot to tell you what happened two month ago, here in my place. My Boudet HG was stolen in 1996, some of you know that. From this time I got quite sad, I have written a solo concert "Le vol du Bourdon" (a joke about : the stolen drone = the fly of the bumble, in french). The miracle is that this gurdy was given back to me on february 18th. In perfect condition, in the original case, with the strap and rosin ! Mr Boudet had first a phone call 3 days ago from a man who wanted to give the HG back (his telephone number was in the HG), and they call me after. I met two guys on a lonely place (as in a detective novel). The story seems to be : the gurdy was stolen, and the thief gave it to a friend. Few months ago, this friend died, and asked before his wife to give the stolen HG back. The wife wanted to burn it, but two friends decided to help her to give it back. The HG is now in Mr Boudet workshop for some adjustments, and those who will come in Europe this summer will hear it playing ! This message is for those who had the same story. Don't give up hope ! I haven't written a tune about that yet, but it will come soon... Maxou J.F.
