A friend and I became steadfast fans after encountering this group at the faire held at Jubilee State Park in Illinois. Since then, we've seen them many times, including at Bristol Renaissance Faire in Wisconsin (my heaven on Earth). They are wonderful, and he is THE best on the hammered dulcimer. All of their albums are fantastic! I've been collecting traditional/folk/ethnic recordings for many decades, and they manage to present an astonishing array of melodies not found on other albums.
To learn more about Jim Lillquist (the one playing the hammer dulcimer), visit the <a href="http://home.earthlink.net/~jimlillq/">Gypsy Guerrilla Band web site</a>. They have several CDs of their music for sale there. You can also see them perform every weekend during the summer at the <a href="http://www.renfair.com/bristol/">Bristol Renaissance Faire</a> (northwest of Chicago).
