Just wanted to let you know, I thought what you played on the Musical Hug was very nice - sounded great. Good going both with playing and sending a hug.
Good catch, Robin! That's a Prussia Valley 'Glamor Shot' I did several years ago..... xox
Thank you for your comments on my rendition of Man of Constant Sorrow.
Robin, many years ago now, on the old Everything Dulcimer site we did a CD where everyone who wanted to participate contributed 3 tunes. Everyone who participated received a copy, but I don't think we ever posted it anywhere.

"The dulcimer sings a sweet song."
It's a greatest hits record! Gave it a spin today 1st of many. That's some truly excellent dulcimer and guitar playing and tunes Robin. Thank you.
Thanks, that helps. If you know of someone that owns an original please let me know.
I get it. Just know your voice is a blessing, so come back after you've had some refreshing. :)
~thinking of you~ Being off of fb agrees with me very much, but there are people like you that I dearly miss connecting with!
Robin, check out how Choctaw tribe raised money for Irish Famine relief.
Thanks. That was a whirlwind demonstration for 4 year olds at my old Pre-K center. What I thought was going to be an hour long songs, stories, and demo for 100 kids turned out to be 15 minute zips for 20 kids 5 times. Talk about flying by the seat of your pants. And it was muggy so my guitar didn't even go outside with me!
Hey, Robin, Thanks for your caring response about Steve. I have enjoyed your video on the the simple capo and also your video on Galax and Bagpipe Tuning. To me you are like a "Jean Ritchie" preserving and sharing a rich folk history. I would love to be a follower and a friend. John
Robin, let Mark know I was a pre-school teacher for my working time, I had to stop working at age 45, but have always had children of families I have helped involved in my life like little girly, the difference is she will be there till I am older and grayer cause her Mom respects and values what her daughter and I do for each other. Also I have been able to be there to be helpful to the family.
Not being able to have my own children this has been where God has wanted me to serve.
It pulls on the heartstrings sometimes, but it has been very positive and loving for the most part.
I am healing Robin, my knee is doing very well and walking well, now with my cane outside my house. I am just happy to be home.
I got to play my dulci's for my Mom and tried to help her get acquinted with playing, she is sight impaired. I also had friends visit whom was interested in learning about my dulcimers.
I had to learn to hold it on my lap with one straight leg, I got it to balance on the top of my brace.
Healing with my Mom really helped her attitude, but I think she will slide back to depression, makes me a little sad.
We are having nice warm windy weather, my tulips are coming up. No more falling for me.
Take care my sweet friend...Lex
My girly is much happier I am home too.
G'day there Robin, i always put a reply to comments on my videos but just realised folk might not know they are there. Thanks so much for following my music and your kind words.. i hope you know i love your playing and compositions too.
Robin,
Enjoyed your Morning has broken. Do you have tabs for it and if so, may I get them.
Thank you,
Jerry
