Started music as a strapping young lad on the piano, hated it (but I still play around on it). Anyway, it was guitar for many moons, but that moved to the back burner 13 years ago when I got a hammered dulcimer. Two years ago I got my first bouzouki and have barely put the thing down. I tried playing my old guitar the other day and my fingers don't work on it anymore. So anyway, dulcimer and bouzouki is what I play. 31 years old, live in Evanston, WY. The links below are discussions that I found something useful in.
