Re: [HG] HG CDs
Hah! Useful coincidence that both you and I are on this list, Martin. Which tells me that you are in the process of learning the gurdy. Super! We should all get together sometime this summer and play. For the rest of you, the aforementioned Claudie is the same Claudia Schiller that sells the AEPEM recordings for Jean-Michel Peru. And I am serious about those being a great little bunch of recordings. For the gurdy players, I especially recommend the J.B. Bouillet Bourrees et Montagnardes cd, which is just a delightful recording of obscure and lively little tunes, featuring Jean-Michel on gurdy with Jacques Lanfranchi on pipes.

However, at least as of a year ago, their shipping costs to the US were painfully overpriced, for no obvious reason (you would pay almost as much for the shipping as for the cost of the CD).

No. Not even Amazon France? No. You get them from Europe, period. I should also mention that a lot of the great recordings are out of print. I would like to point you to my website, www.frenchtradmusic.com, where I offer CD copies of out-of-print French trad recordings that were originally?on cassette or LP. Look at the Mitch Gordon music link on the site for these. Also, our Paris-area gurdy player friend Jean-Michel Peru, who is a scholar of French trad and has put out some terrific recordings with his bandmates of Carre de Deux on a little homegrown label, AEPEM, sells through his sister-in-law in northern California, so you can get these recordings from her?without paying Euro prices or shipping from France. See the Claudia Schiller link on my site. Also have a look at the Alan Keith music link, where you can get the recordings from two great California-based French trad bands, Tour de France and French Creek (the latter featuring our list's own wonderful Penny Cloud).

Re: [HG] HG CDs
Itunes needs to be easier to search, since there is hg music on it, including, to toot my own horn, my own CD. Searching for Melissa Kacalanos should reveal it. There are better hg players of course. I see there are also a lot of CDs featuring hg on cdbaby: http://cdbaby.com/found?allsearch=hurdy+gurdysubmit=search Most are available as both CDs and mp3s. You can listen to samples before you buy to see what you like. Cdbaby needs to work on its search function too, since my band Djinn's CD has lots of hg, but doesn't come up when I search for it. Anyway, here's the link: http://cdbaby.com/cd/djinnnyc Melissa www.melissatheloud.com --- Dana R Gregory [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Greetings, I'm new to the HG world having recently ordered a Chinook model from Olympic Instruments.

Re: [HG] HG CDs
Hello Dana You can get many hurdy-gurdy cds [inc Bouffard and Chabanet] from Cube Roots in the UK. If you go to my website www.drohne.co.uk and click-on the Cube Roots link you will find your way to getting enough hurdy-gurdy music to keep you busy for a very long time. I am sure there will be no shortage of recommendations from people on this list. As for me..with my new album to promote I had better say nothing to influence you choice.
