RE: Market Friday Shops for Freedom

in #marketfriday • 5 years ago

I remember a long long time ago Donovan's Hurdy Gurdy Man song. I really had no idea what it was or that it was "thing." I don't think i've ever even seen one and i've been playing guitar and going in musical instrument stores my entire life. How funny that is : )

Tonight is much quieter yay!

Thank you so very much : ) :) :)

    The only places I have seen them are in the cities and mostly East Coast. So, I thought they probably came from Europe and looked it up.

    The hurdy-gurdy, an instrument that dates back to medieval times was a favorite of French kings. The hurdy-gurdy, known in France as the vielle a roue or just vielle, has a long history and has been played by everyone from blind beggars to the nobility. The origin of the hurdy-gurdy remains unclear. See here.

    In another place, they made note o Donovan's song. :)

    It is so much more peaceful today! Yes!
