Check This Out ... The dining room table adjacent to the music room. Can you believe it? I cleaned up my work space. There's actually a table top under all that junk! No guarantees as to how long this will last.

CTO ... Andy Young Making a Special Appearance in Black Mountain, NC
Check This Out ... CONCERT Friday night and hammered dulcimer WORKSHOPS all day Saturday. Click HERE to see all the details, including how to secure your seat. Reservations are required.
Take advantage of this rare event. Here's what you're in for:
"Andy Young’s virtuosic hammered dulcimer takes the spirited Gypsy Swing of Django Reinhardt in an exciting new direction. Never before have you heard the dulcimer played like this, transporting you at once to Jazz Age Paris and the Gypsy encampments of the dulcimer’s ancestry. Andy’s performances infuse traditional Irish, Quebecois, and Gypsy Jazz melodies with humor and insight to provide a deep understanding of the role of music in our multicultural and interpersonal world." ~ Gebhard Woods Dulcimer & Traditional Music Festival
"I strongly recommend seeing Andy play if you're not familiar with him. He's one of my favorites and I'm wearing out his latest CD." ~ Randy Marchany of No Strings Attached
