Unsolved Mysteries is Back in New Netflix Show, and Here’s the Trailer!

Here’s the official synopsis:

The iconic series Unsolved Mysteries is back! Fusing signature elements from the original series with contemporary immersive, character-driven storytelling, the 12 new episodes are rooted in the experiences of ordinary people who have lived the unthinkable — from the trauma of a loved one’s unexplained disappearance or horrific death, to the shock of a bizarre paranormal encounter. Alongside detectives and journalists, family members offer clues, present theories, and identify suspects, hoping one viewer holds the key to solving the mystery.

Only on Netflix July 1.

Introducing the all-in-one portable dance band: The Hurdy Gurdy! [Video]

OAE musician Adrian Woodward introduces us to the original all-in-one portable dance band, the hurdy gurdy.

“If I’d been a musician in the sixteenth century, I probably would have picked the Hurdy Gurdy because I imagine it would have made me very popular. Wherever I would have gone, I would have started a party.”

I’ve been wanting to get a Hurdy Gurdy for years, but after seeing for how much they go (usually over $1,000), I quickly forgot the idea!
