Thanks, Carl. On dulcimer too. I don't think of myself as a dulcimer player, but it is starting to bring some things out of me.

Now that’s some good old timey blues right there!

Thanks, Doug. A lot of one string melody playing like you and your video friends do. This is a G dulcimer. I may get around to making one in D.

Thanks, James O. Thanks Bob. Yup, old Charlie had good songs and a whole lot of style. He did kind of lack in diction!

A meaningful song Unc J and wonderfully performed. I believe Charlie H had a distinctive blues singing style and also sang much about the times and state of affairs. A great showman to boot.

Thank you, Keith. You are one of the longest active folks here too. Maybe even before I started. I will take a look. I watch the show some, but missed Friday.
