Hurdy Gurdy Man
Was messing on youtube last night searching for psychedelia and found Donovan's "Hurdy Gurdy Man". The fuzz guitar blast at 00:40 still blisters my ears after 56 years.
Then the youtube found me this. I was totally blown away.
There's always been argument over whether it was Jimmy Page or Alan Parker playing guitar on HGM. After hearing the young Frenchman shredding metal on a real (electrified) hurdy-gurdy I started wondering what Page or Parker could have done with one for Donovan. Page bought a hurdy-gurdy after those sessions and is seen playing it in The Song Remains the Same.
I couldn't begin to explain how a hurdy-gurdy works or how to play it, but the things have been around nearly 1000 years.

hurdy-gurdy similar to a stringed instrument with a rosined bow...think Jimmy in Dazed n Confused....or dig little Gretchen Menn shredding the **** out of that custom guitar of hers. Goose bumps!
