"I had the chance to meet and listen to Charlene today play live. While I loved this music in its recorded form there is nothing that compares to the this beautiful instrument played live and played well. I love the old hymns played on traditional instruments and Charlene Berry does and outstanding job. If you are looking for a CD that will bring to to an attitude of worship then this is a must have CD. And if you get the chance to see her play live, don't pass up the oportunity. Thanks Charlene for keeping this beautiful insturment and the songs you play alive."

"Sister Charlene, we were all blessed with experiencing you, brother Larry & his Proverbs 31:10 thru the end with Holy Beautiful music & a Good News message in Divine Dulcimer Detail!"

"The only negative thing I can say about this CD was after song 18, the CD was over. I could listen to Ms. Berry play the Dulcimer forever! When I was in college I bought a Dulcimer and played around on it for awhile, never really getting to be good. While mine was just a four string one, Ms. Berry's Hammer Dulcimer has many more stings and provides the listener with a tremendously rich sound quality. This CD contains an original song by Ms. Berry called the Twilight Waltz. A delightful number to kick things off. The music she produces is so calming and beautiful. You will hear songs like Shenandoah, When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again, Whiskey Before Breakfast and many more wonderful melodies that Ms. Berry plays wonderfully."
