Patricia, I just listened to the episode and want to congratulate you and Wayne once again for your stellar work. You did a great job of framing the episode but allowing Ashley to really shine. Her enthusiasm not just for dulcimer music but for the dulcimer community really comes through. And ending the episode with Joellen's "Dance and Sing" is just a perfect way to reinforce the way music can bring us together in such a joyous way.
And I can attest--since I was there--that Ashley is correct: the Berkeley Dulcimer Gathering was indeed the first online dulcimer festival, although by the time it happened, several others were in the works.
Thanks so much for all you do!
It was so fun getting to know Ashley! She picked most of the music for this episode. This is a rare episode that has music from both hammered and mountain dulcimer players.
What a great idea to profile Ashley! She does such a great job with DPN and contributes so much to the magazine and the dulcimer community in general.

That's a terrific subject to cover, Patricia.
Early music is one of my passions. Much of it utilizes compelling drone intervals that are familiar to drone style traditional dulcimer players.
I am looking forward to the latest episode, Patricia.
