Our thoughts and prayers to Jean during this difficult time, and to George, Jon and Peter as well. The dulcimer community in Kentucky, as well as everywhere else, is sending healing energy your way with hopes for your recovery, Jean.

For all the thousands of folks who have loved your music during Kentucky Music Weekend over the last 30+ years and the tens of thousands and more who owe their dulcimer heritage to your influence, we love you so much. We are all here with you, even if we aren't in New York, our warm thoughts reach across the distance and find you.

Nancy Barker and your Kentucky Music Weekend Family
