Hurdy... and also gurdy

One sunny morning a while back there was a hurdy gurdy man playing his hurdy gurdy outside my window in Paris.



Mostly I just wanted to say "hurdy gurdy".

It occurs to me as well that this kind of music is what ice cream trucks are referencing. Or maybe I'm overthinking this.

Those guys with their music machines make me nuts... and they want me to pay them for the pleasure. I want to pay them to go away.

oh, so true. I was working when this one came by, and would have paid a lot to make him stop.

I've not yet heard a hurdy gurdy before except in a video game once... I think it was a hurdy gurdy. Does anyone know of a site where I can get a sound bite?
