I just listened to Phrygian Free Baritone Psaltery. I hear two psalteries playing together. Did you record this song with someone? It's very nice! Nozomi

- Hi Dave,
I haven't forgotten about the music player issue, just haven't had time to look at it. If I can't figure it out, I'll ask the ning help people about it.
Hope all is well!

- Hi Dave, I had been wondering what your work schedule had you doing these days. Sounds like it still has you very busy.
I'd welcome a jam anytime you want. I've been working on some new songs lately, one is Arran Boat song I first heard from you. That is a tune that just sticks in your brain and I love it. Let me know when you would like to jam, I've got a few new things I've been working on in the workshop to show you.

Amplified Psaltery with Cello Strings built by Rick Long
This video is a personal favorite because it shows a unique type of bowed psaltery with a gorgeous sound. When I heard it I broke out in goose bumps!
