Thanks for your kind comments Randy,We have 4 fiddlers who join "Snakewood" for our beginners sessions - maybe another year and we'll have one of them ready to gig! Surprisingly, out of them all, I think that it will be my "better half" who will feel that she is ready first. She has been playing exactly a year this Christmas and, whilst her technique is at its very early stages, her pitch and most importantly her timing are smack on the money.

Yeah you English boys have a durn good sound going there Robin! That is a good group of instruments....& players. A fiddle wouldn't hurt anything but you're better off without one unless it's the right one huh? Your dulcimer is a major factor in the sound...lays down a nice hum....Thx!

Hi Lisa,I'm not sure which banjo Nick is using (he has so many!). I'm just working the two closest strings and letting the other two ring as drones.

Very very nice. :)Your dulcimer sounds great in that setting. And again- nice banjo playing.Is that by any chance a Mike Ramsey Woodie banjo?Are you barring over all your strings with your noter? Hard to see.
