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.

Thanks for your compliments on Lincoln and Liberty. That was the first tune I ever learned on the dulcimer.

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.Smile.gif
