THURSDAY, APRIL 22nd
After a day of teaching mountain dulcimer classes my mini-concert set began at 4:05 pm in the indoor theater. Playing both hammered and mountain dulcimers, I gave the audience of students, their families and the Folk Center visitors a hammered dulcimer taste of Colorado Dutch Hop with the Windsor Special, then O Virgineeia, Ferret Frolic and Soaring on the mountain dulcimer. I always love to sing with Judy Klinkhammer's rich alto voice (she harmonized with me for Down in the Valley.)
Rick Thum (hammered dulcimer) and I always have a grand time playing together and he agreed to join me for a medley of John Stinson's No. 2/Hangman's Reel.
Carl Adkins (Artistic Director of the Folk Center) sat in on guitar and Margaret Wright (co-host of the Palestine Old-Time and Dulcimer Festival) tore up the bass. Of course, mid-way through Rick yawned broadly at how "slow" we were going (a playful jab at mountain dulcimer tempos) so we put it in warp drive to take it on home.
