Mountain Dulcimer Player, I live near Little Rock AR. I have been playing with the Little Rock Irish Sessions since 1996. I have been playing the Mountain Dulcimer for 12 years. I play the Dulcimer in what is called a Chord/ Melody Style.
I also have been working on the "old Timey Fiddle tunes, pre-1941 era. I love the haunting and quiet sounds of the dulcimer and hope you will enjoy too.
I have been playing and performing for about 7 years , sometimes with a band, mostly solo. I have played with a bluegrass band,"Free Spirit" and as part of a trio " ON Track ". I have been competing in the Southern Regionals of the mountain dulcimer contest since 1993.
