Banjer, you confirmed my intuition regarding church d's.

Spaw--??? You're showing me a lovely forest, and all I wanna know about is one stupid tree.

Jean--what you said about not finding refs. to dulcimers in England way back is interesting; confirms what I read in Peggy Seeger somewhere. I had somebody try to tell me that there were dulcimers in England in Stuart times, but from what you're saying, he was mistaken. P. Seeger said something about a Swedish antecedent, I believe, which would at least be in Scandihoovia, along with Iceland.

Alex--Any time zone, man. I operate on the premise that it must be happy hour SOMEWHERE.
