June 2013 Meeting Report

Even though the day was beautiful we had a good group for our June meeting with 8 musicians attending. Dick Wightman from Seattle stopped in to share his experience. He has several dulcimers that he is selling and even a dulcimer making kit which he would love to pass along. Contact me if you are interested.

We began with "Happy Land" and played on for about 2 hours. Several new tunes were introduced and we had a good time singing along to learn the new tunes. There was a discussion started about how we could keep track of tunes that we are practicing and will be called at meetings. Please add to this discussion and let us know your thoughts. Traditionally if you would like to introduce a tune it is good to bring copies so that we all can follow along. For now I will make a running record of the songs we have played starting with May 2013 and post them here. I will also let people know in my email what songs we have been practicing and will review at the meeting. 

All in all a very nice afternoon and thanks to all who came and awed us with all the musical talent we have in the group. Looking forward to learning from this talent pool and hearing all our dulcimers "sing" together.
