I'd always thought all girls who worked in saloons were prostitutes, but that's simply not the case. Surprised me, to say the least.

Could be part of the history of the name.<br /><br />"Hurdy gurdy girls were considered 'good women' by men, but usually not by 'respectable' ladies, the schoolmarms, and bankers' wives of the town." Love that! Maybe I've been a version of a hurry gurdy girl for most of my life! :DVonn McKeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02271500340284234767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-24279295651680672382014-06-20T09:58:53.996-05:002014-06-20T09:58:53.996-05:00Deleted for typos!Deleted for typos!Vonn McKeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02271500340284234767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-47486932979306763402014-06-20T09:57:18.274-05:002014-06-20T09:57:18.274-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Vonn McKeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02271500340284234767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-2937644922901224692014-06-19T23:03:47.808-05:002014-06-19T23:03:47.808-05:00Jacquie, I had no idea.
