Good Kharma in Mountain Dulcimer World and Beyond!

Hi Friends,

I hope you will be having a lovely and happy holiday week.

My friend, Elizabeth DePietri, sent to me this beautiful message and visual show. Originally, it was in the form of a Powerpoint presentation, but I have changed it to a Quicktime movie format, hoping that it will be more universally viewable for you.


Peace,
Carla

Music Therapy Self-Help With My Mountain Dulcimer

I've made another video showing how I help myself with mountain dulcimer musical therapy..but I am having trouble downloading the video to my computer so I can upload it to Youtube....It's ALWAYS something!

Anyway....I think I can "embed" the video here in this dulcimer blog. If there are advertisements on the video, I apologize. I don't have any control over the advertisements on the free video system.

Jerry Rockwell's Dulcimer Blog

I'm loving the Google Alerts that surf their way into my LYR like little gifts from the www fairy and land securely in my virtually spammed up inbox! [I just might have to get up earlier and earlier each day to see what sweet song Mz Google Alerts will bring into my everyday.]

What I've got to share today will be news with new views for some, but old hat in the life of any ol' mountain dulcitheory cat.....

Jerry Rockwell has a blog I, personally, previously knew nothing about! AND....he's ...<< MORE >>

Harvard Institute for Learning in Retirement

Hello again, my Dulcimer Friends,

Here's a greatly intellectual and musical website find and it just might be your kind, like mine, because it seems to be combining community, conversation, intellect, academics, and visually cool musicality in virtual reality....through a program that I did not know existed until today:

Click here for the Harvard Institute for Learning in Retirement blog....I didn't study it long enough to find the professor's name....I just went straight to the Youtube news and views. I hope you enjoy it!

Richard & Mimi Farina

I found a couple of really good musical information sites and sounds this morning!

First, here's a Youtube video of Richard & Mimi Farina with Pete Seeger:


I love the quality of this video "Rainbow Quest with Pete Seeger (Episode #16)....the music quality as well as the film production itself. I don't know where in the world I was when all this music was out there in our wonderful world! But I'm certainly glad I am blessed with these clips of dulcimer blips in my musical online world now!

The other great find is a Harvard teacher's blog ...<< MORE >>

The Dulcimer Girls

Tonight I came across a Youtube video of the Dulcimer Girls playing one of the songs from their new CD. It's a great video of them playing and singing together.

I met Laura during my West Coast '07 trip...and she was a beautiful and gracious hostess who made me feel warm and musical during my stay. I hope to return the gesture and give her the gift of southern hospitality someday.

Here's the Dulcimer Girls video:


Love it!
