Interesting. I had no idea he played the dulcimer. I was lucky to interview him years ago - I think in the 70's - on radio, and he was such a nice guy. And he played some stunning music in the interview too. Good to hear he's still performing - always enjoyed him.

Thank you so much for posting this. I was lucky to see Steeleye Span a couple of times "back in the day" when they were in their prime, when I lived in Boston, Massachusetts. Fantastic video.

I just saw this thread - afraid I've been away from FOTMD (and the dulcimer) for too long. I'm coming back to both.
I was very fortunate to talk with David Olney a couple of times when I worked at a public radio station in Boston that played his music and became a big fan, and caught some performances and became a bigger fan. The breadth of types of songs he wrote is quite varied, from touching love songs to writing about John Barrymore or the Titanic (from the iceberg's point of view.) Saw him live most recently when he came to the Portland, Oregon area where I live. That's a fond memory. His death came as a shock.
For years he had a weekly informal vlog on Youtube where for about ten minutes he'd update fans on appearances, maybe read a sonnet or haiku he had written, sing a song of his (or sometimes other writers he admired) and then give some background on how the song came about. They're all still there - just search for "David Olney You Never Know" on Youtube.

The Onion Flute - mother of the kazoo
Adventures with 'other' instruments...
Very interesting, Peter, and well researched. I had no idea that the kazoo had such a background. Your onion flute is easily the most beautiful kazoo I've ever seen.

Lovely playing, Robin. And good news about the new CD. Can't wait to hear it.

Just saw this marvelous video - what a gorgeous performance of one of my favorite melodies. I've heard it performed many times on a variety of instruments and settings, and this has to be one of the best. Thanks so much, gentlemen.
wow...it's party time again... REVISITED :)
