Read "Info" for "Help," as this is not a request for help, but a giving of information: Just want to let everyone know that Roger Nicholson, a terrific dulcimer player, is soon to be arriving and will be performing in Cambridge, MA. If there is interest, I can give details. Jean

I saw Roger Nicholson (with Jake Walton) many years ago! If he has been practicing and getting better in the meantime, this will be a great treat...wonderful player!

I think he's to be at Cambridge in May as I recall from a newsletter. Certainly a treat for anyone to hear. He gave the App a different "voice" with the light fingerpicking and different music.....Kind of something old coupled with something new. Anyway, if I were in that area, I'd sure try to be there.

Sounds great. Somebody ask him if he's related to the Philadelphia (Quaker) Nicholsons. If so, he's a cuz of mine, somehow!

Yea, this Rosemary Inn sounds like a very intelligent restaurant!
