All alone out here trying to learn. Thankful for the Prairie Dulcimer Club. The picture is of my Cedar Creek Walnut Classic Petite dulcimer.

Don, thank you so much for your thoughtful Patron donations to FOTMD!
It means a whole lot to me. 
Thank you Don for your very thoughtful and generous site sponsorship. 
We have sold the house we raised the kids in. Now we're all on one floor. So being able to play softly means I can play anytime, anywhere....not something I can do with my diatonic and chromatic harmonicas. I am anxious to learn as much as possible. Thanks.
Welcome to FOTMD, Don. It's good to have you aboard.

Hi Don, and welcome to the wonderful world of the Friends of the Mountain Dulcimer. It's a good place to come, spend some time, learn about the dulcimer, and to meet some good people.

Welcome, Don, to this little corner of dulcimer heaven. Hope you enjoy it here.

Thanks. It's lonely out here. Prairie Dulcimer meets the third Saturday but we ALWAYS have been busy.....Argh!
