Your work is fantastic! Thoroughly enjoyed your workshop session in Evansville IN recently. But I can't figure out. Do you strum out only or out-in. I wish I could have asked after your session but I had to leave early. Is there a knack to doing that with a "pick that could lift a Volkswagon." Thanks.

Thank you! I use alternate strumming for the most part. To play with a thicker pick, it's necessary to loosen up your grip a bit, which in turn allows you to relax your hand and arm muscles. It's definitely worth doing!

You've got the funkiest dulcimer going, Bing! That hen is not just clucking, she's dancing to a jumpin' jive groove!

[dread66mon]

Ha-ha, thanks!

Thank you so much! "Juke Joint Hen" has definitely figured prominently in my life - something about that tune. : ) I really appreciate your comments!

[dread66mon]

Thanks very much! (I'm slow on catching up with comments, can you tell?)

[dread66mon]

Thank you much!
