Timeline Entry

Thanks Dusty Turtle, The words and music make me feel like I am at a classic
cowboy movie of my youth and are very nostalgic. I will be glad to share my version of the song within the month. Thanks again,John.

There is a very positive first aid initiative in this country called "Stop the Bleed". Bleeding from trauma is the 2nd major cause of death in this country. Anyone can take these courses as it's pretty straight forward. As a longtime EMT who was on our rural first aid squad for a decade, I am so thrilled we are doing this in the US. Our local fire department gives the courses, free.

Lucy Wise will be one of the instructors at the Australian Dulcimer Retreat at Tasma House and Gardens, August 28-30, 2020. She's a lovely person and a VERY talented musician.

Can't wait to teach here again...(Blues in A on DAd-tuned instrument) AND (2) Hammered Dulcimer classes.

Hey, this sounds great 😀
I think my neighbours laugh though!

Happy New Year to my friends and followers on FOTMD. Let there be peace on earth - outer space isn't a good alternative yet.

If everyone played dulcimers, we could all live in harmony.

Good stuff! No, great stuff!!!

Seeing Aaron O'Rourke, Janita Baker and Karen Mueller play makes me feel like I'm playing my dulcimer with a ball peen hammer. lol

How long ago did YOU first start playing the dulcimer? Curious about about the averages? Cast your vote and then view the statistics on this fun new POLL on FOTMD!

I loved this post. I can't read it all tonight, saving it on my computer to read first thing in the morning!!! A HUGE THANK YOU....when I play my M.D. with a bow, it is less then an inch from the bridge at the bottom.
Mostly ONLY the first string and maybe at the end of the song, draw the
bow across all the strings or the lowest D string. FUN FUN. aloha, irene
