Hearts of the Dulcimer

I’m 16 episodes in from the beginning and have learned so much about the history, some current players and some of greats of the past. I can’t wait to listen to the rest of them. I’m also saving for my own dulcimer thanks in huge part to this podcast!

A terrific podcast. Interviews with top dulcimer players. Samples of all types of genres played on mountain dulcimer. Thoroughly enjoyable. Well produced.

These are great interviews! They truly have a knack for bringing out the interesting tidbits and stories that make their conversations unique!

I love hearing the great fondness Judy Collins has for Richard Farina and his amazing, mythical contribution to the lyrical sound of the mountain dulcimer. Patricia’s wonderful in-depth interview reveals an extraordinary break for the mountain dulcimer in its musical debut on Judy’s fifth album when she collaborated with Richard on “Pack Up Your Sorrows”. I am grateful to the Hearts of the Dulcimer and their dedication to documenting the history of the mountain dulcimer via their podcasts. Thank you for keeping the dulcimer’s spirit alive with the beautiful affection that you do.
