I have a dulcimer too that I play for my ears only. which is okay too-music doesn't always have to be for performance. sometimes it's just for our own enjoyment.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-62061460311906032582009-09-22T00:02:14.818-04:002009-09-22T00:02:14.818-04:00I did find more of Jean's music.

Virginian at heart. <br /><br />I have a dulcimer that my dad made but can't begin to play it. So sent a link of Jean's music to my nieces that can.Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11526258792227541799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-54711649257644970702009-09-21T09:56:11.902-04:002009-09-21T09:56:11.902-04:00Eaxctly, Susan.

It's such a picture, but I feel like I'm intruding if I were to take a photo of them. I have an old neighbor I'd very much like to photograph--he's like a throwback to the English peasant days, an incredible face and eyes. But I don't want to exploit him for my purposes either.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-4272937239140627942009-09-21T06:55:10.268-04:002009-09-21T06:55:10.268-04:00It sounds like a wonderful time!

So often I want to snap someone, then hesitate because it feels rude, then get home and think <i>damn</i> I should've taken that photo. <br /><br />:-PSusan at Stony Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10385202649291774852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-69611343035780783902009-09-20T22:10:29.350-04:002009-09-20T22:10:29.350-04:00Nance, I hope you find more of her music.

Amazing. <br /><br />I hope we did, Cathy. It was fun and we were in this little room they used as a chapel so acoustics were good. I was glad not to be outside in a tent. So difficult to compete with all the other noise and music. We didn't need mics at all.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-26328046725823278032009-09-20T21:56:12.443-04:002009-09-20T21:56:12.443-04:00I am betting you guys did a great job!

It has to be wonderful to see old friends from grade school.<br />I saw Jean Richie years ago (not going to show my age here) and fell in love with her. I asked my mother for a dulcimer later that year while we were at Cedar Lakes and she bought it for me. I love playing it but I never was very good at it. She's just an awesome artist and one of our country's jewels.Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01947681055574897580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-16273864187699943012009-09-20T21:36:56.782-04:002009-09-20T21:36:56.782-04:00Sounds like a fun, interesting time.

My dad made dulcimers, one for each of his nine children and then sold many more, and I enjoyed Jean Ritchie's Shady Grove. Thank you.Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11526258792227541799noreply@blogger.com
