***THREE CHEERS for Robin Thompson !!!***
I know, Bobby, it' hard to believe.
Thanks, ladies! There have been few occasions in my life where I've been applauded for being chatty. 
YAY!!!!! Robin!!!!
Thank you, Sam, and I'm glad you're part of this great community!
Jane, I got such a kick out of your 2nd(?) post on ED. On what may have been your first posting you posed a question and I saw it, apparently, right after you wrote it and replied immediately. In turn, your quick response went something like, "Blimey, were you sat atop the computer?" LOL I responded that I was.
Friends, I'm going to risk sounding overly sentimental to say that you all have given me roses while I'm living, cheering me on. And if I could, I'd give each of you a hug.

Congratulations to you & Jim, Dana! 34 years? I think it'll last. And I'll keep my eyes open for Mountain Lullaby. (Little Dulcimer Darlin' is wonderful!)John Henry-- 57 for you & Mrs. John Henry-- a belated congratulations! It'll be awhile before I even turn 57 so I know that's a good long time to be married.

Thank you Robin for such a nice compliment. I can't wait to get the one I'm working on now done so I can post it. It's called Mountain Lullaby.
John Henry I'll have to see what I can come up with to barter. LOL But Jim is a real good worker. Yesterday was our 34th anniversary so I guess I've had him this long I better keep him. LOL

Dana, when you're as big a star as I am, you hire somebody to wheel around your head in a wheelbarrel! John H, one of Dana's originals would be a treasure.Though Strumelia and I may no longer be kids, we're tough dulcimer players-- slappin' and poundin' away. 
Again, thank you!

I never knew Strumelia to get physical like that.
PS- Strumelia, your percussive slaps inspired my fat felt pick pounding.

Did I really say that ? LOL What I say and what I mean can sometimes be two different things.

Friends, your kind words are touching. You all have given me much, made my life so rich. . . There's just something about music and the friends I've met through music that's special.PS-John Henry, Bobby usually starts it !
I say two thumbs up...

A+A+A+A+A+ 5 Stars, Robin!Thank you for being such a positive force here on FOTMD and ED, as well.Looking forward to seeing you at next year's Dulcimer Days at Coshocton.Michael Vickey
Well deserved Robin!
I would also like the honor of joining Robin's fan club and would really like to play together sometime.You rock, girl!!
Robin encouraged my playing here at EZF from day one. We had a long email discussion when I was trying to decide what kind of dulcimer to buy and have had several more since.Bout as good a citizen as I've ever met.Sign me up for the fan club.
Robin, thanks for hanging out with us, everything said here is well deserved and true (except for Bobby R's comment about who 'starts it', they are as bad as each other!)best wishes from 'across the pond'JohnH
How lucky I feel to be a part of FOTMD and have you folks as friends! Not so many years ago, I never would've dreamed to have friends I've never met-- individuals for whom I hold great affection. You've been an encouragement to me in more ways than I can express.
And what a surprise-- a pleasant one, to be sure-- to come home after being away this evening and find this thread! Many thanks to you all.
Strumelia, you started FOTMD and it truly is a place for friends. And my brother Bobby.

I'll join in and give three cheers for Robin. she is a positive force here and I'm glad to know her.Hip Hip Hooray.
Let's hear it for member Robin Thompson!
Robin joined Friends of the Mountain Dulcimer on July 30, 2009. She was just the fifth member to join, and now we have over 1000 members!If you visit Robin's page and watch her videos, you will discover that she has varied dulcimer abilities, including bowed dulcimer, box dulcimer, and has developed her own awesome personal strumming technique using a percussive felt pick. Check it out!
What's more, Robin has been a tremendous positive force in helping and encouraging other members here on FOTMD. She gives of her time and experience day after day, and has participated in over 562 discussions , mostly by expressing her genuine interest in what all of us are doing each week.
If anyone can be thought of as a wonderful ambassador for the lap dulcimer, it's Robin. 
Way to go, girl.
Way to go, girl.
HIP HIP, HOORAY for ROBIN !!!!
