Thank you, Richard. I'm hoping I can find a new group to play with down in the Hickory/Granite Falls area when we move down there in the spring.

Also, if there are any players in the Central Ohio area, I wanted to let you know we have a new group that is meeting. Visit Buckeye Strummers on Facebook for info about our next meeting and the tab that we will be playing.

Hi Richard!  Unfortunately I won't be able to see or play the dulcimer yet as it's miles away in Auckland in the N Island.  I live in the S Island.  We are planning to go there shortly before Christmas, so will have to wait until then.  I note that it's considerably bigger and heavier than my current instrument, so will take some getting used to.

He was such a talented man! He played for me and showed me his workshop and built me a custom beautiful cherrywood dulcimer. I lived most of my life in Alaska and was exploring my roots in Tennessee when I met him and I was blessed to him be my first exposure to my country roots and music of the mountains. Thank you so much for the info about him!
