Here is Dan's website: https://www.english-dulcimer.com/recordings/ Since he is in Great Britain and you're in Canada you won't have deal with horrible tariff impositions that keep coming and going here in the States.

Bvmaestro:

Inspiring!  I love the use of dissonance and 7th chords in your music.

 

thnx Bvmaestro - the 7th's are about creating tension, of course

A few months ago,casting about for a song to write I came up with what I thought was a lovely melody...memorable enough that I realized a few days later,"It's Tumbling Skies"

 

thnx DavisJames - so it has passed: 'the old grey whistle test' :)
