Hi There!
You have access to this special page because you have registered for the Fall Dulcimer Day Retreat on October 13, 2012 in Fort Collins with Bonnie Carol & Steve Eulberg entitled:
From Hibernia to Appalachia……the evolution of Celtic Music to Old Time to Bluegrass.
Here you will find downloadable sheet music for the songs we will be working on, as well as sound files (mp3s) that you can download and play on your computer or mp3 player, or you can play them directly from this page.
We recommend that you download and listen to and play these tunes in preparation for the workshop so we can spend our time exploring the differences in playing these tunes in the different styles.
