SteveMansfield | Folklore: Hurdy Gurdy-Lady's Head - myth or truth? (16) | RE: Folklore: Hurdy Gurdy-Lady's Head - myth or truth? | 15 Oct 12 |
Many years ago I went to a great performance at Sidmouth by Jean-Pierre Rasle and Lucy Skeaping, and one of the many nuggets of trivia they imparted that day was that in 18th Century France, the gurdy was so popular amongst the French middle classes that they even converted just every guitar they could find into a gurdy. |
