Biography

David is Howie's younger son, born in 1972.
My son Zev and I visited my dad (Howie) in March 2013 and we played dulcimer together for the first time ever.
On our most recent visit I had gotten inspired to finally learn to play it for myself, so I built my own first dulcimer and have been learning to play from my collection of circa late 50s-early 60s recordings of dad and his friends playing folk tunes together.
Here are the best single copies of a few tunes we played together over every available moment of a very special weekend.
I'm the one fumbling the melody on my homemade cherry dulcimer, he's the one singing and playing harmony on the awesome Jerry Rockwell 3-pairs-of-strings dulcimer.
