I case you haven't heard, The Illinois Mountain Dulcimer Weekend has passed into the pages of history.

On behalf of everyone at Dulcimerguy.com and the Music Works, I would like to formally thank the Heirloom Folk Arts School for sponsoring this event for 12 years.

Take a look at the past photos and see the joy and camaraderie. https://dulcimerguy.com/DGUY_Weekend_Photos.html

The volunteers were phenomenal as were all the people who participated.

We had a great run!

Missing the weekend.

This is about the time Steve Endsley should be introducing me to the stage at the Illinois Mountain Dulcimer Weekend after listening to Joe Collins and Karen Mueller give wonderful sets. My thoughts? "How do I follow that??"

Since the Weekend got cancelled, I didn't get to follow them. So here I sit, watching the PBS folk music fundraiser show. Roger McGuinn just did Tamborine Man on the guitar I still yearn to own. It's the guitar that led me to dulcimer. One day I WILL own a 12-string electric Rickenbaker guitar.
