You can see them already in the shops around: speculoos, marzipan potatoes and cinnamon stars...the "forerunners" of the Advent Season.
Last year we had our first musical Advent Calendar in the dulcimer facebook groups and dulcimer forums and if you like to enjoy one again this year and would like to participate...please let me know and I will reserve one of the little doors for you.
Just record a Winter, Advent or Christmas tune, upload it as "not listed" on youtube (or soundcloud) and send me the link through private message until the end of November at the latest.
It's only a few weeks before the first little door can be opened... 😊

Bravo to all!
Thank you, again, Ariane!
I listened to the tune by Kirk & Judy yesterday yet neglected to comment. It was of interest to hear a bass dulcimer played as accompaniment to a standard mountain dulcimer.
Such a delightful tune beautifully played by Rey in Michigan and Eylul in Turkey!
Ariane, your willingness to put in the time and effort to pull together people from many places is, truly, a wonderful gift to us all! You are a great Friend of the Mountain Dulcimer and of other instruments, too! :)

Today you can open also door number 26 of the Musical Advent Calendar.
Thank you very much, Kevin, Lisa, Robin and Gordon for your kind comments.
The Manx Milking Song is such a gentle, peaceful melody. Even non-Manx milk cows would probably settle when they hear this. Thank you so much Molly. This is lovely!
Today's "Milking Song" by Molly is so lovely!
@dusty-turtle Thank you for the kind comment. We decided to take a chance and play the instruments on which we really aren't proficient and we're glad we did-- we've been enjoying working with the classical guitar & bowed dulcimer pairing.
So wonderful, this whole project! Thank you Ariane.
Everyone made such beautiful and heartfelt recordings.
Thanks to all who had a part in this wonderful month of beautiful dulcimer music. And thanks to you @Ariane for putting it together.

Thank you very much, Robin, Nina, Gordon and Dusty for your kind comments.
That's a charming rendition of O Holy Night, Robin. Patient, and active and flowing without every being showoff-y. And I don't think I've ever heard Mark play fingerstyle before.
@dulcinina & @gordon-hardy Thank you for your kind words! Come what may, we can all carry music in our hearts through the season and the coming year!
Robin and Mark, thank you for this lovely offering of O Holy Night. I love your duet, it is simply grand!!
Very nice, Robin and Mark. I got on your Soundcloud and discovered you were playing the bowed dulcimer. Love it. Merry Christmas, Nina
Who are these people playing today??? :) @Ariane, thank you for offering the Advent calendar and giving those of us interested an opportunity to participate in an international virtual event!
