Boston based duo Lorraine and Bennett Hammond play in perfect complement. They blend their instruments, guitar and Appalachian dulcimer, to create a magical new voice for tunes that range in style from classical through Celtic, blues, and contemporary. They sing both traditional and original songs, reflecting a variety of influences from American and European traditions; their interpretations of traditional music attest to their ability to hear fresh sounds in antique songs.

Instructional Workshops Saturday, April 6, 2002 Upper West Side Manhattan location (Cats in residence.)
Lorraine Lee Hammond Beginning Dulcimer: 10:00 AM - 12:00 noon
Lorraine is considered among the country's best and most innovative dulcimer players. She is an experienced and patient teacher who has taught at the John Campbell Folk School, the Augusta Heritage Program, Summer Acoustic Music Week, Pinewoods Camp and the Cambridge Center for Adult Education. This time she will teach a workshop geared towards beginners.
Bennett is a versatile guitar player who is adept in many styles. For us, he will teach a finger style guitar workshop. His technical inspiration comes from varied sources including the twangy Duane Eddy, blues man Lightning Hopkins and the sweet old timey finger-picker Etta Baker. Bennett has a mischievous sense of humor and one of his most popular workshops is called, "Cheap Guitar Tricks." He might even be persuaded to teach a few.
Tuition per workshop: $20.00 NY Pinewoods members. $22.00 non-members.
To register, please call Maggie Bye at (718) 630-1421. She will tell you the address.
