Thanks! I was delighted to come across this site. This is just what I was hoping to find.
many thanks for the warm welcome. I am already finding very useful articles & posts
Thanks. I did see that group and could see the questions of others but not the replies. I am sure I will be able to learn a lot just by reading what's already here.
Thank you. I've loved dulcimers for years and finally I've now decided that perhaps I can learn. Never too old to teach a dog new tricks! I'm already finding out just how friendly everyone is.
I have a small collection of electric and acoustic guitars as well as cigar box guitars and violin (some of which I built myself). I also build all my own vacuum tube guitar amplifiers.
I have a BSEE from Virginia Tech earned when vacuum tubes were still part of the curriculum. I retired 4 years ago from my job as a Satellite Communications Systems Engineer contractor with the CIA. I worked in the Intelligence Community for 40+ years. My wife and I retired to Natural Bridge Virginia in 2019.
Thank you Richard. I’ve been exploring the site. Haven’t been in a forum so it will take a little getting use to. Looking for to learning from others and participating.
Thank you Richard. I've already asked several questions and received helpful, friendly answers! I am pleased to be here.
Thank you very much Richard for welcoming me to FOTMD. I will be posting my dulcimer for sale. Sincerely, Susan
Thanks for the hearty welcome, Richard. this is my first attempt at any online forum, sorry about the delay in responding. I'll be checking outthe various groups, etc.
Thank you Richard, for the welcome. I am looking forward to using the site to interact with others in the dulcimer community, and to learn a thing or two.
Howdy there! Thanks so much for the welcome and for having this nice site. Reverberations from Kentucky~ KarlyDawn
Thank you very much for the warm welcome. Im still getting used to the site but hoping to get tied into a couple of forums. BobT
