Hi Michael, Should have started my reply with lots of praise and appreciation for the work you and Doreen have done on your book. It is by far the best available and I will not part with my last copy which is now showing considerable signs of fond usage. You guys have taught me lots of good things through that book and my hat is off to you. Lets take it to the next level somehow. Oh.... where was I....Yes, I recall now, I think..... We are all getting older and I can't remember why I am standing in front of the fridge. You are not alone Don Quixote. Lets go find some windmills together. Mel

Or will no one own up?. Colin. Searching for 'hurdy-gurdy method' will (should) bring up my website. What could be simpler? I had fondly hoped that the book would be available as long as people made HG's.,but it seems to be difficult. I am really puzzled as to why sales, which have been largely steady for 20 years should have fallen to 0. Sales are so small that publication is not a commercial proposition and firms have shied away from it in the past. And there is no point if copies of are indeed being made. It seems that the only solution is to make it available on line, but this task is beyond me personal;y. There is nothing like a book for convenience and I would not like to read music from a screen! Most awkward. And an online copy may still be reproduced I am told. Sheila had the bright idea that we could tag each tune on its page!, Brilliant! But. .. It seems that few players can read music and I wonder if the text would be sufficient, but then i realise that most people just want the technical details, many of which are now available on websites. This, of course, may be the real reason for the loss of interest in the book and is more likely than its being copied. So I'm afraid we shall just have to accept the march of progress, such as it is. Bigger changes to our lives are on the way. I am really sorry that I have not made it to the US to meet you guys, but I wish you all happiness and success. I've played my part and it is time to depart. Michael and also Doreen, who appreciated your words of praise, Gary, with a glow. 2013, at 08:30, [email protected] wrote: Today's Topic Summary >Group: http://groups.google.com/group/hurdygurdy/topics > * Vielle for sale [1 Update] > * Digest for [email protected] - 1 Message in 1 Topic [5 > Updates] > Vielle for sale > Digest for [email protected] - 1 Message in 1 Topic > > -- >-- >You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google >Groups "hurdygurdy" group. >To post to this group, send email to [email protected] >To unsubscribe from this group, send email to >[email protected] >For more options, visit this group at >http://groups.google.com/group/hurdygurdy > >The rules of posting, courtesy, and other list information may be found at >http://hurdygurdy.com/mailinglist/index.htm.
