Well, I'm a librarian in the mountains of North Carolina who loves Celtic and appalachian mountain music, in addition to being crazy about medieval and renaissance music. My husband and I are weekend lap dulcimer players who perform here and about under the name Gingerthistle. (Yes, I've heard what that means in Ireland... we're sticking with it anyway. Took too much time to figure out a name for us, and besides, who in the US knows?) Also play other instruments: guitar, recorder, mandolin, plucked and bowed psalteries... varying degrees of proficiency.

This is the coolest place... I don't get to come much, since my computer is only my work computer on my office desk, and I mustn't stray too far from doing my work. Visit once in a while when I need some info. You guys are the greatest for providing that!

Blessin's on all yer little heads!
