Urban Monroes	Feb 4 2008 12:01 AM Hey Guys, Your stuff is wonderful. The hammered dulcimer is dripping with charm and your whole sound paints such a warm and inviting picture. Thanks for being our friend. I am very familiar with the band name Urban Renewal. They are still around right? Yes, Tom Nechville is a very cool guy and what an instrument builder! The "Comet" which he built for Matt is extraordinary. Hope you have a fabulous week guys! Fran
The Grass Less Traveled	Feb 3 2008 7:41 AM Hey Roller Mills fellers... Thanks for being our newest friend... Love the tunes! Great Traditional Fun! .. Stop by and leave us a post sometime, we'd love to hear from you... Thanks Mike Gibson, The Grass Less Traveled
russ	Feb 3 2008 4:50 AM hey - thanks for finding me and for the request! ...it's an honor to be your friend. cool stuff! peace and distant light, russ ps - the hammered dulcimers that i own and have restored are a Stroehlein (my default pic) which required a total and careful disassembly and rebuild (i found the signature of the maker and the date made - May 5th, 1911 - handwritten in pencil on the backside of the soundboard) ...and a Stonitsch which didn't need as much work made around the same period and only a block or two away from where the Stroehlein was made. i used to own and play a GREAT HD made by Harvey Prinz in KC about a light year ago. Entered the National Hammered Dulcimer Championship in Winfield. Didn't win anything or nothing fancy like that, but had a good time playing and folks seemed to enjoy it.
