Renaissance music on the mountain dulcimer with a touch of electricity woven into the warp.
Bio / Background
Steven K. Smith is an instrumentalist on the Mountain Dulcimer who has been learning playing, composing and teaching since 1983. His introduction to the dulcimer occurred a few years earlier, however, in 1977, when his brother Dave had bought one at a craft fair. It had been painted bicentennial red, white and blue, complete with star-shaped sound holes.
“I guess he got a good deal on it,” Steve recalls. He was entranced by the sound and deceptive simplicity of the instrument, but at the time he was working toward an Engineering degree and didn’t think he had the time to learn a new instrument. None the less, about a year later he saw dulcimer kit at another craft fair and bought it.
Over the next year or so, Steve admits that he did, “a really bad job” of building that instrument. It was good enough to get him hooked, though. At the time he didn’t have anyone else nearby to compare it to, and so was blissfully unaware of its short comings.

Lovely, Gentle Dulcimer TunesIdaho wrote on January 23, 2008
I find pure joy in listening to this album. Some of the tracks are tunes have a long history back to the 16th and 17th centuries as English Country Dances. These include Blind Mary, The Waters of Holland, Nonesuch, and The Touchstone.
