That first week of the month is popular. As a newbie, I have to practice all week for the practice sessions of "Strung Out Dulcimer Band" in Mifflintown (Thursday) and for "Off the Wall Dulcimer Society" in Mechanicsburg on Sunday--just to try to keep up. That's about 40 tunes altogether. Also, It's getting where I don't like to drive at night. Let me know if there's a jam in your area.
Cindy & I just returned from Road Scholar's Great Dulcimer Rendezvous in Kentucky--very nice, a breezeway with big rocking chairs for jams. Fine teachers: Anne MacFie, Susan Trump, Maureen Sellers & Stephen Siefert. I learned a lot: how to hold a pick, how to air strum when I'm lost. haha
We no longer have a group meeting in Reedsville, but that may change in the future. I meet with a group in McClure on the first Tuesday of the month at 6:30 pm. Of course, we could always arrange a time to get together with some folks around here.
Welcome, Fretfull, to this little corner of dulcimer heaven. Feel free to join the WV Players Group; we have a lot of PA members. Also, feel free to come to any of our events; we'd love to have you. Hope you enjoy it here.
Hi Fret, and welcome to the wonderful world of the Friends of the Mountain Dulcimer. It's a good place to come, spend some time, learn about the dulcimer, and to meet some good people.
I think I know everyone in Strung Out. I even sold a few of them dulcimers.

Welcome to FOTMD, FretFull. It's good to have another Pennsylvanian aboard.
