I hold a degree in music, and have performed vocally, as well as on silver flute, bass guitar, Native American style flute, and bass continuo. My main focus is now on playing and performing mountain dulcimer, as well as writing my own music for the dulcimer. My heritage is Appalachian on both sides, so I feel this instrument quite strongly. I have a mug that says "The mountains are calling and I must play". That is so true! My favorite dulcimers to play are my Kurt Simerman and my Jack Ferguson. My cats love when I play dulcimer! : ) I'm excited to have released my first solo dulcimer album, Back to Blackberry Creek!

Hi Carol, 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.
