Hi I’ve been inspired by the Fiddlehed practice challenge to do one on my own with my Dulcimer. Starting Monday I’m going to practice every day for the next 14 days. I may even post some video. Anyone want to join me? 😁

Fantastic! Playing those double stops so well, loved the rich sound and rhythm. So much going on there, the basic beat backing was enough. Thanks for sharing.:)

This song is Benton’s Dream, either written by or attributed to an old fiddler named Benton Flippen, of Mt. Airy, NC.
