Howdy Jon--I just ran across this, sorry to hear about your beautiful mom. We met several times over the years, and have written many times. Your mom always spoke to me as though we were lifelong friends. She means a great deal to me, Jon, and the dulcimer never loses its wonder for me. It has been a major pastime, and more, and I consider the Pickow-Ritchie family to be my family, too. Thank you all so much. You're super.
