Dan and I catch up.

Russell Cook Joins Dan and Steve to talk about hammered dulcimer innovation.

Maybe you don't need a shorter instrument. Instead, try this technique for shortening long stretches like the 1-2-4. Also, Steve responds to Dan's test of the mid-side recording technique.

Dan and Steve talk about life a bit, missed opportunities and sleeping with podcasts before deep diving into the recording technique called mid-side. The podcast even includes an audio demonstration of how this technique creates a stereo field with no worries about phase cancellation. After exhausting that topic, Steve gets geeky about capos.

Vrooom, vrooooom. The Dulcimer Geeks have restarted their engines.

Dan and Steve pick up where they left off.

Dan and Aaron in England with special guest Amanda Boyd who joins us to talk about collaborating of songs from the Cecil Sharp collection.

In this episode we start out by talking about coaching versus teaching. Seifert shows up, we meander as usual, and then Aaron opens a bottle of scotch. Things pretty much go downhill from there. Welcome to our first two hour podcast. We hope you survive.

Alexa joins the Aaron, Stephen, and Dan as the geek on about dulcimer-tech and copyrights.

Why modes matter.

Dan, Stephen, and Aaron talk about getting caught up while the radar is turned off.

Dan Landrum and Aaron O'Rourke discuss their show at Sarasota, Fl in a venue called Fogertyville. Topics include treating each show as an experiment and audiences as focus groups.

Aaron and Steve blab without Dan. When the cats away...

How do you respond when a student says, "I don't want to play like you?" And, where does activism fit into the dulcimer community?

This was recorded in a room full of people playing music, PLUS the main recording device failed. Still, the conversation with Bing Futch, Lorinda Jones, David Beede, Guy George, and Dan Landrum was fun, so we decided to go ahead and share it.

Dan and Aaron live create an ethereal composition for an upcoming performance with dancers.

Aaron O'Rourke, Dan Landrum, Stephen Seifert, Erin Mae-Lewis, Amber Rogers-Clark, Sarah Morgan, and Silent Shad Clark all sit down to talk about teaching and learning at the Black Mountain Dulcimer Festival.
