It's about time I show up here. Saw postings about how crowded our lives become - squeezing things in and life events pushing themselves to the forefront. I want to play more, post more, and make room so it is a comfortable (and maybe comforting) regular activity. I am holding one of Bobby Ratliff's hog fiddles - galax style with staple frets on melody strings only with fixed drones. Such a sweet sound, Bobby. Behind on the wall is an old homemade Hughes beach banjo (indestructible it is) and a small up octave 3 string. I have other dulcimers - and instruments - and stories with them all. Hey, howd'ya like that acorn lamp behind me?
I love it all, Gary! Great line up of things...thanks for showing us!
