Hurdy Gurdy

I've seen this gentleman around town from time to time and always wanted to take a picture. Well, today I did! He's playing a 30 year old French-made hurdy gurdy and it's a beautiful instrument. His right hand is turning a rosined wheel which plays the drone strings (rather like a bagpipe) while his left hand picks out the melody.

Yesterday's tornado watch was no joke. Four people killed in Springfield.
