I would be very interested in meeting you. I'm not sure how to set something up, considering the somewhat large distance. I am unable to drive due to my epilepsy, but I do know that my brother-in-law sometimes goes down in that direction for his job (he is hired from various elementary schools around DFW to teach a fun lesson) and his lessons are around 90 minutes long, so maybe the next time he goes down in that direction, you could give me a 90 minute lesson on the hurdy gurdy? It would be on a weekday during school hours. Or, if you're ever coming all the way up in this direction, and had time to teach me a bit about it (I'd appreciate at least 45 minutes), maybe a parent of mine could drive me to a close place for us to meet at.
Thanks for your response. I'd love to have this opportunity.
