Elsa, how sweet to see Jerry with his hurdy gurdy. It reminds me of a time shortly after he made it: he brought it into the kitchen and thought he would play it while I was cooking. Have you ever heard a hurdy gurdy!? "You can't play that thing in here," I announced. This pleased him for some reason. Another small tale about the instrument, which hangs in his shop, is that a mouse moved into it last winter and chewed part of it up. The landlord evicted the mouse and patched the hole. It almost sounds like the premise for a children's book. One of Jerry's projects this winter is to build a lute. Susan

ReplyDeleteI don't know what a hurdy gurdy sounds like! And I have been asked about what kind of wood that is made of?
