We survived Kentucky Music Week 2006!! Five full days of teaching, learning, jamming, decorating cakes, and meeting amazing people from everywhere. Butch held down mountain dulcimer camp while Christie injected some of her je-ne-sais-quoi into hammered dulcimer camp. There's probably dozens of players out there right now wondering what ever happened to the good ol' days of just playing the darn thing... Now they feel they must syncopate and make it funky!

Photo #1: Christie, Mary Carty, and Rich Carty. Mary and Rich sold me my first HD back in 1995 and Rich gave me my first lessons (and my first paying gig!). It was wonderful to spend the week with them.

Photo #2: The enormous Stephen Seifert--- that's a regular sized dulcimer he's playing! He must've eaten the magic beans at the buffet...
