Toby Dog Hurdy Gurdy

Toby Dog's tune by Tim van Eyken, from my show The Adventures of Abney and Teal. Played on a Hurdy-Gurdy-shaped-object borrowed from Andrew McCrorie-Shand (who does all the Abney and Teal incidental music that isn't played by Tim, and has a much better Gurdy himself).
Provisos are that I really don't know how to play a Hurdy Gurdy, especially not the trompette (buzzy thing), and that this one really only just works at all anyway. I was having fun though!

My 3 and 5 year olds love Abney and Teal, but more importantly, so does their 33 year old fiddle- and gurdy-playing father. Great tune, great show, just great!

Any chance of the music?

@TmorrowTheFox Thanks! I read music pretty slowlyl, and write it even worse... So unless Tim ever hands me a copy of it written down I'm afraid you'll probably have to go by ear. I will try to upload a version where I'm playing a little better at some point!

Love the show and the music as does my 3 year old but can we ask..... What is Bop?

@Goz98765 Thanks! I suppose there might be a little Seal, Manatee, Water-rat, Stuffed-toy, etc. in there, but essentially he's a Bop.
