Only Marilyn was missing today from our gathering. We hear that she is finding all sorts of things "dulcimer" in Kentucky.
This was a two guitar day with Lynn's visiting friend. Her other friend brought her listening skills to share. It was very pleasant meeting Rose and (sorry -- forgotten the other name.)
We've come a long way baby. Years ago, in desperation, Carole and I listed ourselves in the Dulcimer Players News as a club. We were. Any two gathered in the name of music -- can be a club. Camp Crescendo was the ONLY group listed to be active in Oregon. We did find a few compatriots through that help....none that stayed with it...but we did enjoy meeting new folks.
Usually wild growth occurs in the spring..............we are having ours now. There have NEVER been this many people in any room in Grants Pass -- that we know of-- gathered in the name of dulcimer! Fourteen people making sweet music. Thank you all for keeping alive a uniquely American instrument.
