The NHCDS will be playing this Saturday, the Bryan Museum 1-4 in Galveston, 1315 21st St near Broadway Ave J & 25th. the players will be in either old time dress or demin. If you have time, would be a place down your way to check out some of the NHCDS players.
There are 2 new players, just starting over Northwest Houston area, I think - closer then me. I will pass on your FOTMD site and maybe ya'll will be able to get together at some point.
I plan on going, try and come. You may find some other players that are in your area. There are some on the member's list in Friendswood, Pearland and several in Katy
There are many places to get dulcimer music, tabs but if you are just starting I have found Margaret Wright's tabs to be clear, large and easy to read. Her site http://www.jerrywrightfamily.com/products.htm - About mid way down her Twelve Tune songbooks and toward the bottom her contact info, maybe start with the first 2 and see how it goes.
Hi, how's it going. Even with us not able to meet yet, if you want to ask anything - feel free.
I see you are looking at lots on here, Strumella's post and Ken's article. It's been years and I still haven't seen all the great info offered.
While you are working on strumming: I also like Dusty's video on strumming patterns
Good luck with everything and I hope to see you at the next NHCDS July 20th
A few years, I started late and had no music background so you should be able to play in no time. It's the starting that is slow but then it picks up. All you need is a few pointers to get started.
I looked at the map and taking 8 around up to 45 to spring - 2920, you are only about 45 minutes away; if you would want to get together to go over a few things.
Not sure what your days are like, Fridays I help teach a beginners class at the children's museum in the woodlands 1-3. That is a bit further but you are welcome to come tomorrow if you like.
Or: if you have anytime over the weekend and would like to practice, let me know and we can set up something.

What type of dulcimer did you get?
I looked at the map and taking 8 around up to 45 to spring - 2920, you are only about 45 minutes away; if you would want to get together to go over a few things.
