catsittingstillMy back is getting better, I think. Yesterday Don and I rode 15.7 miles. I got home just in time to shower and change for the dulcimer workshop at the Appalachian Center at Carson Newman. Much to my surprise most of the dulcimers there were hammer dulcimers rather than lap (Appalachian) dulcimers. It turned out that was a chance result of which members of the Knoxville Area Dulcimer Club were available that night--most of the club plays Appalachian dulcimer.
They started with about 45 minutes of performance (and a hammer dulcimer choir has to be heard to be believed), then had a workshop after that where people could try out various instruments. I wound up in the lap-dulcimer workshop, and Shannon let me borrow her dulcimer and even take it home last night. I could get to like the dulcimer, but I think I probably have enough instruments already :-)
