The 1st part of my set at Pattyfest 2014, Fairmont WV. Played on a Heatherwood dulcimer tuned DAd.Part 2 is at or in the discussion in "Rockin' in the Free World."
I'm up for having a jam at my house but there's NOT going to be any Spam. Pattymelts yes, Spam No Marion, I've seen that video before, LOL. BTW, there is a certain gentleman who is an FOTMD member that wrote a Spam song just for me. Now I'm forever connected to that so called potted meat, LOL. I would like to say one thing about PattyFest. It was lots of fun and it is worth attending. If you're not taking a workshop you can sit and listen to great performances and they go on all day long. Also, there were impromptu jams outside the auditorium. I absolutely recommend PattyFest. I'm glad I went. I've now added harmonica to my instrument collection

Perhaps Patty from Virginia will have a jam session at her home someday. I'll drive down because she will probebly serve spam sandwiches for lunch...

Thanks, Rob. Being an isolated dulcimer player in southern Ontario makes me distant and unaware of the dulcimer world in the VA,Ky,NC part of the world. When I saw the word "Pattyfest" my mind went to pattymelt, which is like a tunamelt but with spam.
Thanks, everybody, I had a great time doing both the concert and the workshop.
Ken... Pattyfest is an old time music festival dedicated to the late Patty Looman. She was the "apostle" of both the lap and hammered dulcimers in north central West Virginia. She taught a lot of people and was instrumental in keeping the tradition alive.
Actually, in the raw video, my head it there on most of it; don't know what happened in the translation to Youtube

Very good, Rob! Loved your playing and singing, especially the tribute to Stephen Foster. What is a Pattyfest?

So fine, Rob! My especial favorite is your play and singing of Foster-- you have just the right voice for it.
Indeed you have a gift Rob. I really appreciated your renditions of Soldiers Joy and Hard Times. Thank you so much.

Our internet is "metered" until midnight so I'm going to stay up late some night soon to watch, Rob. I'll just imagine your head is there; Jim knew we know you have a head. :D
Nice job Rob if only I could play half that good I would be doing well
Rob...you da man! Great stuff!

Rob, you did great!!! I'm glad Jim recorded it. You taught an excellent class too. It's good to know that one can do chords in DAA. Thank you!!!
great job Rob!
My bad on the headless Rob. First time I used his camera, and I corrected it after a bit. I second what Kevin said.
I enjoyed it, Rob...and I already KNOW you have a head! We missed you at the J.A.R. Jam at Dana's!
You all should of been there to hear Rob play. It was really awesome, He has evolved into a great concert player.
I think you've joined Carrie as another one of the headless dulcimer players...LOL!
