Here are a few links to sound files form my live dulcimer performances with Adrian Kosky (guitar) in Lyonville, Victoria, Australia. Adrian's guitar style is the star here......and I think these sounds need to be shared:
Will the Circle Be Unbroken
Sitting on Top of the World
Roll In My Sweet Baby's Arms
Fly Around My Pretty Little Miss

The Daylesford Dulcimer Gathering, August 27-29, 2010
I've added music to the iMovie/slideshow I created for he Daylesford Dulcimer Gathering which is coming up downunder in the Central Highlands of Victoria, Australia, August 27-29, 2010. For the new soundtrack, Adrian sang and twanged up on a McNally strumstick and that was good enough for GarageBand....and Me.

It's HAPPENING! Dulcimers Downunder, August 21-29, 2010
Today I am TOTALLY excited about announcing the first Australian Dulcimer Gathering!
I just posted the following on the Friends of the Mountain Dulcimer forum and on EverythingDulcimer:
Adrian Kosky and I are happy to make this announcement!
We've organized an event called, "Dulcimers Downunder," to be held August 21 - 29, 2010, which includes accommodation, activities, airport shuttles, and all meals for eight nights at Tasma House Music and Arts Retreat in Daylesford, Victoria, Australia.
Highlights of your stay in Australia from August 21st - 29th, 2010:
We will pick you and your group up at the Melbourne airport.
From there, you will be taken to your home at Tasma House Music
and Arts Retreat for the next 8 nights.
The first day will be a gentle entry into Aussie life, with time to relax
and pamper yourself, be introduced to your dulcimer (if you are loaning
one) and recover from being upside down.
Participate in 8 days of extremely relaxed workshops/international
cultural exchanges.
Meet and jam with Daylesford's local musicians.
Enjoy guided sightseeing in Central Victoria's historic towns.
Attend house concerts, participate in intimate open mic night/ song circles
and campfires at Tasma House.
Perform [if you like] in an Australian pub.
We will be visiting a local wildlife reserve to pat a koala, photograph
an echidna, get up close and personal with a wombat, and discuss life with
kangaroos.
On Friday 27th August, the first Daylesford Dulcimer Gathering will take place
at Tasma House Music and Arts Retreat. You will have VIP status as our
international guests, which in Oz means, "we'll look after ya, mate."
Players from Australia and beyond, will be coming together for fun and friendship,
cultural exchange and to share our instrument. A chance to mix with real Aussies who are also smitten!
We will escort you back to Melbourne Airport on Sunday the 29th of August, full of stories, adventures, and the call of home beckoning you back.....

Dodgy Train to Clarksdale, by Susana Travieso and Treyton Williams
I'm grateful to my friends, Treyton Williams and Susana Travieso, for allowing me to share their beautiful documentary film about Adrian Kosky. This film was made during one of Chandler Griffin's two-week, Clarksdale, Mississippi, Barefoot Workshops in 2007. It's my FAVORITE documentary, of course, and I am happy to share it as my learning tool for using blip.tv:
