My first Mountain Dulcimer Competition

Surprisingly I did think (sort of)to smile. That is one comment that is always made from time to time in our group: when people play on stage they are so focused they forget to smile.
My first Mountain Dulcimer Competition

Friday night I entered the Mountain Dulcimer competition at the 2012 Tennessee Valley Old Time Fiddlers Convention http://www.tvotfc.com[/url . It was my first time entering a competition. I did not enter to win so much as to overcome my extreme stage fright. Generally I avoid all public speaking (or non-speaking) type activities. Here I am playing Ode To Joy . While I did not win I did actually play the tune as I intended and did not make any mistakes.

A new dulcimer from a 100 year plus old church

Here's a post I put on our local dulcimer group about a new mountain dulcimer from old boards from a century old church

Here's another dulcimer that another feller in our group made a week or so ago for his wife http://athensdulcimerclub.wordpress.com/2012/09/13/jerry-todd-builds-a-mountain-dulcimer-for-louise/

Yeah I really likeit too. Thereis a localdulcimer maker that makes his dulcimer so that thereare no imperfections in the wood, in fact he brags about it. Nice dulcimers butbecause of the type of wood he uses you can't tell one of his dulcimer from another. I really enjoy seeing the wood patterns and "imperfections" in everyones dulcimers.

Might as well add the photo of my Keith Young limberjack too. I've seen a lot of very well done limberjacks that have been painted and/or dressed up. I've always been afraid to mess it up. Do need to find a little dulcimer for him...

I was saddened tolearn about Keiths passing on the 9tha little while ago.
Here's my Keith Young dulcimers (I should have had my Keith Young limberjack added to the photo as well). On the full size dulcimer: Walnut side/bottom, wormy chestnut top
