Just started playing the dulcimer in 2021. Utah native. Some of my ancestors came from Appalachia. I've been a drummer since 1994, a published author since 2009 and a published fiction author since 2018. I love to hike in the Wasatch mountains with sticks I make from local trees.

"This looks excellent. I appreciate that you use beeswax.
I have one made of cottonwood -- I think that's similar to poplar. The color is similar at least."
