TO SARAH CLEARY:
Witchcraft, perfect! Actually, I do have a spooky crankie that I have not used for an online fest. It needs a proper filming and I can make that happen. I will send an email!

Hi Sue. My name is Sarah Cleary and I'm calling from the Samhain Family festival which is an event that takes place in conjunction with EPIC Museum. We would love to feature the Crankies as part of our Arts Council Funded virtual element this year. When you have a chance could you email me at sarahcmcleary@gmail.com for further details if interested?
Many thanks

To Sue Thomas:
Wow, your crankie is so beautiful!! ❤️❤️ What did you use for the scroll? I love the color. I have fiddled that strathspey many times, in the Cape Breton style. Thanks for sending to me. Are you going to share it on Facebook?

Dear Sue
I thought you would like to watch this cranky which I made for a Christmas entertainment with the Feral Choir last December 2020. It is the story of The Marriage of Robin Redbreast and the Wren, a tale by Robert Burns read as written, in Scots dialect. The link to it is https://vimeo.com/499183512.

TO JOANNE RUDO:
Thank you so much for the invitation! I love the Leif Erickson Lodge and that historic building would be a wonderful backdrop for the crankies.

The group I perform with, PODORYTHMIE, just started getting together again after not playing together for over a year. We are not quite ready to start performing. I will send an email to you so we can keep in touch. We can schedule later on in the year in that still works for you. Thanks again or your interest.❤️❤️

Hello: Would you consider doing a program for Leif Erikson Lodge at one of their membership meetings? The lodge is located in Ballard. I suspect most of the members have never seen a crankie and would very much enjoy your show.

Hello Ayrin!
I love your matchbox crankie! I will share of the Crankie Factory facebook page. Are you on Facebook? If so, are you a member of the group Crankies in the Puppet World and Beyond? You should join that group, it has over 2,000 members and they would love to see your crankie. Let me know if you would like me to share to that as well.
Thank you!

Hi Sue,
I was wondering if you might include me in your "Cranksters A-k" section sometime in the future? I would be happy to show some crankie stuff. Please let me know.

TO CAROL DENNEY:
Hello! I actually emailed you years ago, probably 2013 or 2014, and got your permission to post you crankie video. That being a while ago, I can see that you wouldn’t remember! My email is at the top of this page. Can you email a new link to me? I will fix the next time I am updating.
Thank you!

TO ALLISA:
Thank you for asking about a crankie box. I don’t know of anyone making/selling them but I might have a lead in the future. If it comes to pass, I will email with the details.

Sorry I can’t be of more help right now.

Someone sent me a link to your site saying I should send you all one of my crankies, and I was delighted to see one of mine, "Unless Of Course You Die", is up there. But when one hits the link it says, "Video unavailable." I'm glad to somehow send you the video to make sure the link works. Thanks for trying to include my crankie.
