My two new albums are now available online as CDs or digital downloads.
These are my first solo projects to be released since 1990.

The quieter, contemplative side of the hammered dulcimer. All but one track is solo hammered dulcimer and the remaining track has the addition of frame drum and low whistle. Ten traditional tunes and three composed by myself.
Here are two full length tracks:

Doug, these tracks are beautiful! I lament that I haven’t ever been managed to hear you play live. Perhaps when I am back in Michigan next summer…
I hope that you are well otherwise. John
@John -
Thanks for the kind words John. I look forward to seeing you next Summer!
