The day after his performance in my house concert, Butch Ross will be teaching workshops to anyone interested in learning how to play the mountain dulcimer. The workshop will be Monday, February 11, 2008, and the instruction will be provided according to the needs and interests of students.
More details will be posted soon!

On Monday, February 11, 2008, before Christie heads back to Chattanooga, she will be happy to teach workshops on how to play the hammer dulcimer. Christie‘s workshop will be directed toward the students’ interests and playing level.
Christie‘s energy and musically pioneering spirit led her to establish Ireland’s first dulcimer festival, The Cork Dulcimer Festival, and she continued hosting it for three years. The Causeway Dulcimer Festival picked up where Christie left off.
I’ll add more details about Christie‘s upcoming workshop. Check back soon!

Hi Friends!
On February 10, 2008, at 8 p.m., my friends Christie Burns and Butch Ross will perform in my living room!
I had the privilege of meeting Butch and Christie during the summer of ’07 and enjoyed a lovely visit with them in their home in the artists’ community of Jefferson Heights in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Butch and Christie are traveling through Memphis on their way to a festival in Texas, and they are happy to stop in for a performance in Memphis on their way. Along with the house concert, Christie and Butch will conduct hammer dulcimer and mountain dulcimer workshops for anyone interested and available on February 11, 2008. I’ll post the time and cost for that soon.
Tickets for the house concert are $10.00 and may be paid at the door. As usual, all money from ticket sales will be paid to my house concert performers. To reserve your seat call me at 901-270-3585.

Greetings fellow dulcimer players!
The next meeting of the Memphis Area Dulcimer Club will be Sunday, February 3, 2008, from 3-5pm at Carla’s house.
Bring your capos to this meeting (if you don’t have one you can borrow one from those of us that have at least two) – we will be playing a number of songs in E minor (capo on fret #1).
However, we will start our meeting by playing the “Dulcimer National Anthem” to warm up.
(Spring 2008) Marie Kirby is gathering folks together to meet once a week to learn and share the music of her hammer dulcimer life! Marie and a bunch of folks are looking forward to meeting weekly to play hammer dulcimer together.
If you would like more information about Marie’s new club, please use the contact button in the menu on the left to email me.
This new hammer dulcimer club is open to anyone learning to play or experienced in playing the hammer dulcimer.
Marie is a FUN person to play with. I’m looking forward to hearing this new group of sweet music musicians!
