Another fellow plays ol' Ben Franklin's beastie. It looks like a beauty too. He offers several CD's and cassettes some with accompanying instruments. In one case, a hurdy-gurdy! That's on his Revolutions CD. (didn't see that one on the website) Anyway, the chap is Dean Shostak. I suppose the recordings can be found elsewhere but the only one I know of is Smoke and Fire Co. (www.smoke-fire.com) While you're hunting on the web, check out the Kitchen Musician (members.aol.com/kitchiegal/). It's somewhat hooked up with Smoke and Fire Co. (the newsletter) and is a great source of info, books and recordings for living history music.
