"The hurdy-gurdy is an acquired taste. A bit like sulphuric acid: by the time you've acquired the taste, you're dead.
The only person I will tolerate in my hearing playing the hurdy-gurdy is Felicia Dale (of Pint and Dale from Seattle), who, without interrupting the melody, is constantly tuning the bloody thing so that it sounds less awful, even tolerable."
