Tunes 10/8/19

What a fun session! Thanks to the whole crew for coming with tunes on your minds. It was great to have Gillian join us. Very nice fiddling! Please come again. The hammered dulcimer was sweet! This recording has been fun to listen to. Our band gets stronger and better with each tune repetition we play. That means folks are listening and adjusting. Who could ask for anything more?!

see you next time,

Dave
