Peggy, Small world isn't it ?

@Bobtheclogger - It sure is!

Michigan leads the world in hammered dulcimer playing.

[Peggy91193]

@Bobtheclogger Yup.. I know that's true because I come from Michigan! I've actually seen you at clogging workshops around Michigan and in Windsor, Canada. I've even attended your own workshops a few times! Before moving to Sweden, I belonged to Celery City Cloggers (Kalamazoo) for about 10 years, and then I switched to Gull Creek Cloggers (Battle Creek) for about 6 years.

Nice picking.

What's the name of that instrument that resembles a xilophone?

[Peggy91193]

@jorgecubria Thanks... I'll tell the banjo player you liked his pickin'! That weird-looking instrument is my hammered dulcimer.

@Peggy91193

Thank you, quite intresting

Sounds solid - and quite a fast pace. I was surprised to see the hammered dulcimer. That's an instrument I haven't seen played very often.

[Peggy91193]

@jpachter1 Thanks! Yes, it was a bit too fast, but just try to get a banjo player to slow down and you'll see that it's pretty much impossible! The H.D. is pretty popular among folk musicians in my home state of Michigan.

@Peggy91193 How canyou tell when a banjo player is at your door?

The knocking keeps getting faster and faster, he can never find the key, and he has no idea when to come in.

@jpachter1 Good one!
