hey Keigh, hope all is well in Chicago area for you. What type of dulcimer is that in the picture of a dulcimer with your cat? I'd never scene one like that before.
If you meet FOTMD friends abroad, I imagine many of them have more than one mountain dulcimer and would be happy to share.
Folkfan, you're a treasure!
PS-Hope you get to meet some of our friends here when you go abroad next year!
Hope you're feeling better, Keigh, after the health scare of the past week. Hugs to the dulcimer world's folkfan!
Thanks for your compliments on Lincoln and Liberty. That was the first tune I ever learned on the dulcimer.
Cheers,
Dusty
Folkfan, much of the Transatlantic/Aly McBain stuff can be found on Youtube should you wish to sample it ?

Hi
Just wanted to thank you for starting the Singing with the Mountain Dulcimer group. It looks like the most active one going at this time.

Folkfan, I was reading thro stuff as I do at 0130 european Time & I noticed you mentioned arthritis in your strumming hand, and your method of taping a plectrum to yout thumb. have you seen a thing called Shark Tooth ,they have a web site www.Strum-n-comfort.com . Might be just what you are looking for. I got mine from Elderly Music a couple of years ago but have never used it, but that does not mean I won't at some time in the future. Just a thought, hope you dont' mind me adding my two cents.
Keigh, just wanting to wish you a happy & safe journey! The tales you'll have to tell. . .
Thank you folkfan! I am glad that you enjoyed the tune. Any chance of us hearing you sing it, Pleezzzzzzzzzzze?
