Just returned from the Southern Michigan Dulcimer Festival at Parma, Mi. Lots of professional workshop leaders: Judy Morningstar - one of my favorites. Rick Thum - wonderful on hammered dulcimer. I plan to go to Fiddlers Gathering at Battleground, IN. Have you been there? Coming up in August is Celtic Fest. in Goderich, Ontario.. I went 2 years ago and have heard that it has grown since then..
