Cuyler,

I leave it to you to think up such a dynamic exhibit. ;-)

Finally after something like 3 years of lurking I sent an e-mail to the 
hurdy gurdy list, as Gabriel Orgrease. I expressed that though I am a 
complete musical idiot I have very much enjoyed the discussions like the 
one that is still going on about the use of tampon stuffing yada yada. 
That I was rebuilding my music collection with their recommendations. 
That I am enjoying all the YouTube videos of hurdy gurdies... and 
bagpipes too! I told them that I was preparing myself to build the $20 
hurdy gurdy that is available on the internet but wondered if there was 
some way for me to come across an hurdy gurdy for less than a grand... 
the real ones go from $1500 and up. So the next morning back channel I 
was sent an e-mail with a very nice set of plans and a plea to not build 
that $20 piece of junk.Oh, I also told them that I wanted to build the 
piece of junk hurdy gurdy so that I could go around and bother my histo 
presto friends. I got another back channel from a woman whose 
significant other is a wood turner in DE and was offering services. 
Makes me wonder how many bracket spindles Brad Pitt is going to need in 
NoLA.
