| Of all the Alphorngruppe players, it could be said that Nancy came by her talents the most "Naturally." At a very young age, she ran away from home to join the fledgling Hippie movement. One day, while living in her commune and foraging for food with the rest of the troupe, she came upon a hollowed out tree. Of course, the first inclination was to eat the termites but, after finishing this delicacy, she buzzed into the hole at the end and made a wonderful Alphorn sound. She took the log home and mastered the instrument. It was soon after this that she took her original name, 'Sun-Moon Leipold'. It was supposed to be a name in honor of Leopold Mozart (Wolfgang's father and composer of a famous Alphorn concerto), but the person advising her at the time was not terribly knowledgeable in these matters. As the Hippie movement faded and she rejoined society, Sun-Moon became Nancy and the Alphorn became a modern Carbon Composite version of the hollowed tree that started it all. | |
