Upon our trip to New Orleans, we happened by a street musician named Tom Sanders by the River Walk who played the hammered dulcimer for us. This beautiful melody is called "City of Dreams". Tom learned to play the hammered dulcimer from his teacher, Dorothy Carter. Although she passed in 2003, you can still enjoy her music today by searching online for her album "Troubadour", which was highly recommended by Tom.
