Once a camera club met there for lunch before going into the forest. It was $22.00 for a hamburger, fries, drink and desert. Woe!

Sure, I will bring it but I would prefer that someone bring along a guitar, and for all of you to not expect Earl Scruggs pickin. Actually, I am picking clawhammer style lately, just so the guitar player knows.

I'll bring a dulcimer, but believe me we'll still need that guitar

You are right. Let's put all the pressure on the guitar picker. If we sound like @%$#$ it's because the guitar picker wasn't up to our standards. LOL

You can hear it played by going to the thread: http://www.hammockforums.net/forum/s...ad.php?t=27298

toward the end there are two links to youtube. I'm not too good on clawhammer yet so it is what it is.
Here are the links:

Yep, that's it. I do have a good friend, Jude O'Dell, who plays a mean clawhammer joe. I don't even have any business picking one of those things up.

The thing I do know is clawhammer means folks music, which is way cool with me.

I can usually keep up with a pretty quick tempo, but dulcimer is not made for the "Art of playing a 4min folktune in 2:30mins," or as it's affectionately referred to as, Bluegrass.

I play mostly bluegrass on my clawhammer banjo, and old timey stuff too.
