The new CDs have arrived and will be available for purchase starting tomorrow. An informal release party will be held at Grove Avenue Coffee and Tea from 3-5 tomorrow afternoon.

I will still be in Richmond VA until late July. I’ll be available for Ithaca bookings starting in August. I’m hoping the CDs will arrive before the move; check back in mid-July for the announcement.

• No Loose Threads . . . New page

A collection of folk, classical, and original pieces featuring the hammer dulcimer with other acoustic instruments and a few vocals. This album celebrates the joys of musical experience: a three-year-old at a piano, a college student with a guitar, a dulcimist’s first public performance, and more.

Want to know when it’s ready?

Email me with your full name and your current email address, and you’ll get a one-time announcement when the CD is available for purchase (probably mid to late July). I won’t use your address for any other purpose.

It was just about a year ago — October 27, 2000 — that I brought home my beautiful James Jones dulcimer. To celebrate this first anniversary, I’m giving a free solo concert at West End Presbyterian Church, October 26, at 8 p.m. Bring a friend!

NOTE: Thanks to all of you who attended my first concert! A recording based on this concert is in progress; if and when I finish it, I will announce its availability here.
