July 2013 Meeting Report

The July meeting was a great success with a record number of players. We again began with "Happy Land"  then quickly got involved with learning some new techniques taught to us by Darcy Fusch. Everyone enjoyed her explanation of DAD chord variations and tips she had picked up at dulcimer camp. We continued to call tunes and had three new melodies introduced; "Spanish Fandango", "Death of Queen Anne", and "Tear My Still House Down". Our discussion continues on how to keep everyone interested and more experienced players interested and coming to share the great sounds of the dulcimer.
