I have sang in jazz bands, as well as, sang and played rhythm guitar in acoustic folk bands. I started playing the mountain dulcimer in March of 2019. I am learning finger style, playing chords, rhythm and some flat picking. I enjoy several genres of music which includes: Renaissance, Celtic, and medieval. I own a Black Mountain Deluxe 58 dulcimer and just bought a redwood and walnut McSpadden that is my profile photo. I love playing the dulcimer and meeting others who love it, too.
