Amazing Hammered Dulcimer Musician - Joshua Messick

While visiting one of my favorite music stores (Song of the Wood in Black Mountain, NC) I met the master hammered dulcimer musician Joshua Messick. He was very kind to demonstrate the sound of the instrument, and share his amazing technique in a less-than-ideal, sometimes noisy environment. At the end he provides a brief interview. Many thanks to Joshua for allowing me to put him on the spot - and for delivering so amazingly. Please visit the links below to Joshua's various web locations and online store:
