Thanks for listening! :-)

Thanks Steve!

A truly great podcast. Thanks for all your hard work. I love it!

What a cool poster!  I'm wearing one of my HOTD tee-shirts even now.  :)

And here it is! I love it. I don't wear t-shirts with designs on the front so it was wonderful that you made this into a poster. I haven't hung it yet. Looking for a special place.

Sheryl,

Glad you like the Kandinsky Dulcimer poster! Would love to see a photo of it framed!  :-)

Just received my poster from Dulcimuse. I can't wait to frame it! So much more vibrant than I expected. Thank you! 

Thanks Don! We take a lot of care in creating the podcast as well as the resource page for each episode, so we're happy you appreciate it!

You may want to consider listening to the Hearts of the Dulcimer Podcast episode about Steve called The Many Modes of Stephen Seifert :  http://dulcimuse.com/podcast/resource/036.html

I did not know about the Stephen Seifert workshop! I signed up for it. It's going to be tricky. We are trying to get our house on the market and really wanted to get moved out of the area. I'm gambling that I will be here for the workshop. 

Thanks for coming to the workshop! You all sounded so wonderful together. And Wayne and I had a blast.

Wayne really knows how to fix up dulcimers ... that's why all the dulcimers we brought sounded so good! We were glad that there was an extra dulcimer for her to use during the workshop.

BTW, did you know that Stephen Seifert is coming to Portland in September to do a 3 day workshop? Here's the info:  http://www.stephenseifert.com/three-day-registration/generic-three-day-lyb7e

Hope to see you again in another dulcimer setting!

I still want to listen to the Podcast. BUT...I attended a one hour workshop by the Hearts of the Dulcimer folks last night. I haven't had a chance to play with anyone else so this was great. My husband was impressed by how all the dulcimers sounded. Thank you again for doing that workshop!

I did feel badly for the lady next to me. She'd spent $200 on a dulcimer shaped instrument, with an action so high that it was difficult to play. I just hope people will do a little research before they get that first instrument.

Well said!  :-)

Thanks for being a long time listener and contributor!

Thanks for sharing your stories ... it's always a hoot to be around Steve, eh? 

Stephen Seifert is the "bomb"!!! What I didn't hear in the episode was the term "environment". Stephen has the uncanny ability to create an environment in his play. His music can actually take you to places you've never been before, and maybe places you have been to! This is why in my book he is undoubtedly the number one conventional player bar none..... and he is good people!

Dulcimore Dan

Keep the coming. I find them both educational and enjoyable. Thanks for producing these.

"The dulcimer sings a sweet song."

Thanks for all the work you put into the podcasts, Patricia.  You guys always do very good work.  Let me share two stories.

1) I attended one of Stephen Seifert's 3-day intensives last year in Berkeley.  As we went around introducing ourselves, Stephen said "You all have probably heard Dusty play and know that he's sometimes kinda fancy."  If I ever record a CD, I'll put that as a blurb on back "'Sometimes kinda fancy' according to Stephen Seifert."

2) I have to admit that I often listen to podcasts at a faster than normal speed.  Having grown up in the northeast, I'm just used to a faster pace of conversation than you find in most of the rest of the country.  But sometimes I forget that my default speed setting is x1.5 or x2. Once I listened to your podcast on Aaron O'Rourke while on a plane and had gotten used to the faster pace, until you played a clip of one of his faster songs.  I was in disbelief!  I knew that he can play very fast, but the lick I heard seemed impossible.  Only then did I realize that I was listening at twice the normal speed!

Keep doing what you do!  We appreciate it!
