First, I just wanted to say that some years back, I found the wonderful FOTMD site while searching for any updates or information on Bill Taylor! It's amazing how these things work!
About my Bill Taylor "Taylormade" Dulcimer:
While visiting Gatlinburg in 1996, I stopped in a music shop down that way and asked about local dulcimer builders. They spoke highly of Bill Taylor's instruments, although they did not have any to show me. Well, after some serious thought, I parted with my black Fender guitar as a down payment for a dulcimer that would be built a couple of months down the road. When it finally arrived I was thrilled!
I had the opportunity to meet Bill at the 1st Annual KADC retreat! What a wonderful weekend - full of great people, great music and great food. Bill was one of the teachers that weekend - and he left a life-long impression on me.
I hope this humble attempt to dedicate a song to him will bless those who listen.
