notes
With this, his 6th CD, Mark Gilston returns to the USA showing how mountain dulcimer can be adapted to play traditional music from all around this great country. In addition to the wonderful traditions of old-time music of Appalachia and the Ozarks, Mark explores the music of the immigrants, particularly from Scandinavia and the British Isles. In addition to playing 7 different dulcimers in various sizes and different tunings, Mark also accompanies himself on guitar and concertina. The music is fun and exciting, and will have you returning to listen time and time again.
