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 love him! I bought a CD -- the baroque one, because it was called "La Follia Itinerante: Baroque Street Music for Two Hurdy-Gurdies & Violin Vol. I" rather than the more eclectic English folk one (which in retrospect I regret, since I like English folk more than baroque music, but I couldn't turn down a CD that called the Itinerant Fool, at least until after I heard it for the first time and realized I would have preferred the other).

I didn't know there was a band! Awesome.
