family reunion

It doesn't seem possible that I have not chatted with you for nearly 6 months! I'd like to tell you all that its because I was using every spare minute practicing my gurdy, or that in that time I have built two new Monarchs. I would like to but I can't.                                    Actually we have been quite busy building and shipping either kits or instruments to Sweden, Scotland, Norway, Australia, UK, and of courseseveral  here in the states. Its been a grand journey. The end of May we were invited to join a group of Hurdy gurdy players at Folk College at Juanita College in Huntingdon, PA. Although there were only 12 of us in a group of 160 musicians, they treated us like royality. I strongly encourage anyone who can work it into their schedule next Memorial Day week end (the first week end in May for those of you out of country) to join us. Although most of us were strangers, it truly felt like a family reunion with the first coo. Here are a couple pictures to whet your appetite.

  1. Hi, Ann. Nice to see the Folk College photos.

    I also look forward to hearing about your building those two Monarchs. You'll probably finish them before I do mine!
