Details:
The quieter, more contemplative side of the hammered dulcimer. This is the music I play for myself when I''m at home.
Audiophile sound quality.
All but one track are solo hammered dulcimer and that track has the addition of low whistle and frame drum.
The pieces on this album are predominantly traditional tunes though several are of my own composition.
I originally released “Ocean Of Wisdom” on a long out of print cassette (remember those?) in 1990. It has since been recorded by a at least two other hammered dulcimer players.
I have been performing since the mid 1970’s. During the 1980’s I toured throughout the United States and performed at many folk festivals, dulcimer festivals and concert venues.
In 1983 I took first place in both the National Hammered Dulcimer Championship and the National Mountain Dulcimer Championship in Winfield, Kansas.
I have appeared as a support musician on many albums and soundtracks. I am also a former member of the Celtic ensemble Colcannon.
When I was first drawn to the dulcimer and hammered dulcimer I was unaware that many considered these instruments to be musically limited. As I taught myself to play I assumed that any walls I came up against were because caused by my lack of ability, not the potential of the instrument.
