Thread Name: Who makes a good Courtin' Dulcimer?
Subject: RE: Who makes a good Courtin' Dulcimer?
In Kentucky the man is Homer Ledford. 125 Sunset Heights, Winchester, KY 40391. He makes a lovely, sweet-toned dulcimer (both 'courting' and 'still-single' kinds). He has a webpage, "Homer Ledford and the Cabin-Creek Band." He has been nominated for the 2003 National Heritage Award. A beanpole of a person, friendly and talkative, a fine, sensitive, quiet and non-aggressive musician. Just a short introduction- meet Homer Ledford!
