Thankyou Mary for your kind words on Beanmont. Indeed it is my own composition. My 1981 Scottish teardrop-style dulcimer has a particular resonance.
Mary,
I live about an hour north of Columbus and I build custom mountain dulcimers. I am a much better luthier than a player, so I want to be a real player. I do belong to a small string group of mostly dulcimer players. We just play in DAD and strum the melody together(no chords). It is good for me to practice with them, but my goal is solo fingerpicking with chords, strumming and lots of cross picking. It was only about a year ago that I started to chord and cross pick. Suddenly realized that maybe I could sort of develop my own style - like you have done.
You're welcome sweet lady. It's good to have you back on FOTMD.
WB, Mary.
Welcome back Mary. Can't wait to hear some of your music. Ben
Glad to see you're back!!
Welcome back to FOTMD, Mary. I've missed you.
Ken
