April Meeting

We had a great turnout for our Willows performance with 12 musicians and many in audience. It was a lively exchange with audience participating in singing along, asking questions and even filling in background information on our tunes. Thanks to Jerry and Barry for their solo presentations. Also, special thanks to Chris and Bob for the added percussion. Looking forward to more outings by the dulcimer group. If you want to join our practices, we will be continuing at the Willows on Wednesdays at 11:00.
