Well I'm an old dulcimer player, and I like to party!

As a musician, you have to keep one foot back in the past and one foot forward into the future.

My oldest dulcimer is from 1931. It doesn't party. I don't take it out on camping trips or to parties. I do take it to mountain dulcimer events and allow others to play it.

"The dulcimer sings a sweet song."

I don't know a good way to find out about this. I have a 1976 McSpadden kit dulcimer.  The guy I got it from was happy because he knew I'd play it. I swear this dulcimer has been out on camping trips and to parties. Everytime I play it, it's like "Let's jam!!!"

my question is, do you notice this with old dulcimers?  I'm thinking about the really old ones now. Do certain ones just feel like it should be party time?
