Editorial review
Dulcimer Christmas is a delightful presentation of ensemble string artists playing traditional English carols as well as some from France and Provencal, Italy, Germany and the Basque country. The soft intimacy of dulcimer, violin and guitar translate these gentle Christmas melodies into a quiet joy as we hear "Greensleeves," "March of the Three Kings, " "Silent Night, " and others not as familiar, but just as lovely. ~ MusD, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
Dulcimer Christmas
In the early 1980s the four of us played music on weekends at the Portland Saturday Market. We'd put a hat or a guitar case on the ground and play for tips. We'd have a case of cassette tapes for sale, at one point I think they sold for $6 a pop. Mostly they were recordings of dulcimer & fiddle tunes, dance music and hoedowns and such.
Many a cold December day we huddled under the Burnside Bridge playing Christmas tunes for the chilly folks stompin' their feet to stay warm. The hammer dulcimer is a great instrument to play and listen to outdoors. The high percussive tones ring through the air in a delightful way. This album was recorded in 1985. We sold it for years through stores and through a couple of distributors, most notably Lifedance and Burnside Distribution, both located here in Portland. This album sold year after year.
