John, LOL, lurking is what we all do here. It's an affectionate term we relish and practice with great vigor! However, we too catch window peekers, haul 'em in under the guise of food/drink or chat and never stop running our mouths! We're gleeful in our well shared and boisterous enthusiasm of this instrument, we are addicted to it, and with much ado yell it to the Heavens, and purchase tshirts spouting the same thing! We consider this "very normal" behavior, like to see someone try to convince us otherwise........we just ain't right....... Now our official motto! LOL!

Hi John, 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.
