Willst zu meinen Liedern deine Leier dreh'n?

I should start carrying a camera again. Last Friday, there was a man playing a hurdy-gurdy outside the Harvard Book Store. I'd never seen one in real life. I didn't recognize any of the tunes. I had Winterreise stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

Also, there now exist color photographs of post-earthquake-and-fire San Francisco.

I saw the hurdy gurdy man two visits to Boston ago. I was very geeked by seeing one in the wild.

I know! Once to be found in droves throughout the great cities of Europe, now reduced to solitary wanderers on foreign shores . . .

Like black-footed ferrets and ivory-billed woodpeckers...

In our country (Ukraine), hurdy-gurdy, more and more common.
