2012 Summer Recess

Since we've opted for a Summer Recess, Bellingham Dulcimer Club meetings will begin again in the Fall.  Our next meeting will be on Saturday afternoon, September 8th, 2012.  ENJOY!  Later . . .

May, 2012 Bellingham Dulcimer Club Meeting Report

Excellent turnout yesterday, despite the gorgeous weather.  The meeting included:

• Four (4) "capo'd to Em" tunes: "The Three Ravens", "Hatikvah", "Cluck Old Hen" and "Rhythum".
• A Mary Z. Cox arrangement of "Goodbye Girls, I'm Going to Boston" (taken from the latest Dulcimer Players' News) and a very similar sounding "June Apple".  Both tunes in D and included C-chords.
• And a guitar/dulcimer chord version of "To Live is to Fly".

Thanks to Bob and Cindy Friendman for the Townes Van Zandt tune and a special "Glad you could join us" to "first-timer" Leigh Giovane from La Conner.  See you all in September . . .  

Last meeting until Fall!

We will be having our last official meeting until Fall this Saturday. Beginners and others new to the Dulcimer will start at 1:30.  Look forward to seeing everyone there.

Kindred Gathering XXXVIII

KG 38 is back in Washington State this year, between August 3rd and 5th, at Rimrock Meadows outside Soap Lake.  As more comprehensive information becomes available, it will be posted here on our website.  Later . . .

Corrections Completed

Just finished the last of the fixes to make the Tab on the Club Music page accessible.  I also added a couple of new tabs for two versions of "Hatikvah".  Later . . .

Website Problems

For whatever reason, links to music tablature on the Club Music page are not working.  This situation was just last evening brought to my attention by a Bellingham Dulcimer Club member.  Troubleshooting has revealed that the problem exists on other pages on the website too.  It would appear that the links to files in Google Documents have been corrupted and the fix requires a file-by-file review of the html code for each, a very tedious task which will take some time.  Sorry for the inconvenience.  Later . . .
