Fine Times at Our House LP
This album features healthy helpings of John's stellar hammer dulcimer and fiddle playing, sometimes at the same time, thanks to the wonders of multi-track recording. Joined by the seminal folk ensemble Trapezoid, John reels through a sumptuous collection traditional songs and tunes, from the rollicking "Sally Anne." to the gorgeous "Samanthra." Plenty of unusual tunes he collected in the field and innovative arrangements make this a "must-have" for dulcimer enthusiasts.
