Robin Thompson:


I greatly enjoyed this interview with my young friend Hunter Walker.  I think Hunter was thirteen or fourteen when we met in-person at the Vandalia Gathering in Charleston WV.  (First, we met online at Everything Dulcimer.)

Can't find credit for the young lady with him?

In my humble opinion, Hunter shines even more in a stringband setting and in support of other players-- he knows when to be in and when to not.  A young master, indeed.

Thanks for posting this, Robin. When I first discovered the dulcimer on YouTube about ten years ago, Hunter was already a child prodigy and I learned a lot from some of his videos.  He seems to have stopped posting the last few years, so I didn't know he was still playing old timey music and had added fine clawhammer banjo to his toolkit.

Thanks for sharing this, Robin.  I listened to the interview and have subscribed to their newsletter.  There is a gathering in Berea,KY in October I hope to go to.  Great resource.  Nina
