Viergy

I presently live in Helena MT and occasionally Costa Rica with priors in CO, CA, NE, OH.  I am recently retired.  I am a theatre/musical theatre person.  I first picked up a dulcimer in the late 1980's and have been putzing on it ever since.  Mainly I just play what I feel.  I am just now getting around to wanting to learn some cover songs by some of my favorites including, Neil Young, Beatles, Dylan etc.  I read music which I find can be a bad thing.  I get hung up in "what key is the song in" and other technical things.  I have spent some time but not enough on learning different tabs.  I usually just play in DAD and CGC.  I am wanting to start playing more so that I can play outside my home now that I have the time.  Interesting fact:  I own an electric dulcimer that I found in 1990 at McCabe's Guitar Store in Santa Monica CA.  I is a solid body unit with a cheap pick up.  Doesn't sound the best but is fun to hook to my little Gorilla bass amp once and while and make some big noise.
