10 performers and dulcimer builders at the 2024 ODPC Funfest in Evart, Michigan were asked - What is an essential tune that everyone should know on the hammered dulcimer? Here is what Karen Ashbrook, Colin Beasley, Nick Blanton, Pam Bowman, Chris Foss, Katie Moritz, Brett Ridgeway, Bill Robinson, Rick Thum and Mark Alan Wade had to say.

That was awesome! Of course, we could count on RIck to get all fancy LOL. And I can see why so many folks appreciate Bill Robinson. Amazing way he described all the different ways to play that tune.
