Hi back,

I just found out yesterday you are from Sparta.  While I have a Sparta address and live in the country about halfway between Cookeville and Sparta.  I do most all my shopping/etc. in Cookeville.  I taught at TTU from 1975 until 2002 when I retired.

Yes, Jan Fritz heads up the Cookeville Dulcimer Club of which there are approx. 12 or so members. And they do meet at 2:00 on Tuesdays most weeks. They would love to have you join them, even if you can't get to all the meetings.  Looking at some of your info I think your playing skills are at a point you could contribute a lot to the group. 

Thanks for getting touch. I never played a stringed instrument in my life until a year ago; much less built one.  So, it's a lot of fun learning to strum a big and build as well. 

Harry

Hi Noah.

I got a Hohner special 20 in C

It came with some free on line lessons for 30 days so I'm going to investigate it later

Do you know of any good learning resources for Harmonica?

Here is a link to me playing the harmonica i don't know if it will open for you, but I can't post on the members videos because it is a copyrighted song (I'll Fly Away).

Hi Noah, and welcome to the wonderful world of the Friends of the Mountain Dulcimer. It's a good place to come, spend some time, learn and exchange ideas about the dulcimer, and to meet some good people.
