Nate's the only person in the world who can play Bile Dem Cabbage and make a jello mold with the same instrument.

@ken-longfield , consider yourself enrolled!  And wait-- there's more:  you're the outstanding member for the year of 2023!  

Well, Robin, I've done both, perform weddings and played music at them. The latter is a lot easier. Now, can I enroll in this fan club?

Hey, since you've made me a minister, maybe I can perform weddings and you can play music at them-- how would that be!?!

Okay backup plan. You are the minister of propaganda, all you have to do is comment under my songs that you enjoyed them. So far your service has been admirable!

I have a bad hip and poor balance.  So, perhaps I'll just fall into the undesirables before any actual shin kicking takes place.   

Well then its settled, Robin. You are the enforcer! Your job is to bounce the undesirables. I'll leave it to you to determine which shins you want to kick, and the full brunt force of FANS OF NATE (which I think is just us) will descend on them! 

I don't deny it, Strumelia!  

Indeed, I've known Robin to kick a few shins along the way.  

If that's the case (meaning there's no money involved), I want to run for President of FANS OF NATE.   I've gotten to be an old lady and will keep everybody in line.  

Of course Robin, though we might need some treasure first. Sadly, I think this may be one of those times where the real treasure is the friends we made along the way....

Count me as a fan and, please, may I have consideration as treasurer of the fan club?  

This is a forum discussion dedicated to discussing how cool FOTMD member @Nate is.

Let's hear it for NateMan!!   Nate builds the coolest creative dulcimers and instruments, often using unconventional materials and original designs. Here is his page: https://fotmd.com/nate

Here is just one video showing a fraction of his many talents:
