I was lucky enough to interview the legend himself, Stephen Seifert! We had a very interesting conversation and both got to learn from each other.
We discussed a lot in these 45 mins, about how it all began for him, techniques he's found to work best, a look at his impressive collection of instruments and the different kinds of players he's met along the way.
Take a listen and let me know your thoughts!

[@mcdradus]

thank you for this one! I learned a lot .

[@HeyInglewood]

I'm glad you took the time to dive in... Stephen is a national treasure. One of a kind.

[@deeman524]

I love these kind of discussions,

[@HeyInglewood]

I’m so glad!!

[@montycraig5659]

Man he says Schnaufer is the greatest in his mind, but there are probably many who would say the same about him!

[@HeyInglewood]

Fully agreed. His touch is just so sweet, savant level player

[@USNAVDC]

World class? I'd say one of the G.O.A.T.s..."Greatest Of All Time" Mountain Dulcimer players.

[@HeyInglewood]

AGREED!!!

[@chrishix6796]

Wow! That was terrific. Thank you for putting that together.

[@HeyInglewood]

You’re most welcome Chris! Stephen has so many “music is simple” statements that I keep going back to. Little micro wisdoms for the players in all of us.
