There were a couple of fellows here in OKC the other night playing mountain dulcimers, and I can tell you they gave a whole new meaning to the instrument. There was none of that slivery thin tinkling I usually hear. These guys look like a couple of truck drivers, and they were in up to their elbows and burning them up. My fingers hurt just watching. One had a sort of figure-8 shape with a rich tone, and the other one was a long fish shape with a bright tone. (The dulcimers, I mean.) Together they had a really GIANT sound. Our whole club thought they were the hit of the show, which was a pretty darn good show anyway. == Johnny in OKC
