HAMMERED DULCIMER RECORDINGS: MOUNTAIN DULCIMER RECORDINGS: |
HAMMERED
AND MOUNTAIN DULCIMER BOOKS - most music in these books
is arranged for both dulcimers: |
 |
THE
VERY TOP OF THE TREE |
|
| CD - $15 | ||
I guess we always
like our most recent recording the best, THE VERY TOP OF THE TREE is
no exception for me. In this I reached new heights of technical quality
working with Grammy winning recording engineer Tom Wasinger and state
of the art mastering and mixing geniuses of Airshow Mastering. I'm
sold on this level of professionalism in the technical department.
Oh yes, and the music, the new CD contains all my current favorite
music for various musical genres - some traditional Celtic and American
tunes, some tunes written about my experiences in the wilderness, some
tunes written by friends, and a few of my favorite Latin American repertoire.
I think you'll find it varied and interesting! |

CELTIC CARIBE |
 |
||
| CD - $15 | |||
A 1988 trip to
Central America fostered a musical exchange between one of the world's
most melodically sophisticated musical genres, Celtic music, and one
of the world seats of rhythm, the Caribbean. Caribe is the name of
the Native American tribe for which the Caribbean region and this recording
are named. This CD mixes soulful Celtic songs and hot Caribbean rhythms
on hammered and fretted dulcimers, vocals, guitar, marimba, congas,
and synthesizer. |
