"How To Write A Song" Podcast
Ted Yoder interview by Joel Boggess of 4 Points Coaching
NPR interview of "Comfort and Joy"

The goal of my music is to take the breath of everyday and sing it through the hammered dulcimer. Our days pulse with the beat of life- from the gorgeous strains of wedding music or the tender memories of the birth of a child to the darker tones of the loss of a loved one. All of these moments add cadence and chords of intense beauty and passion to the soundtrack of our lives. Our stories write the music and in the melodies we hear home, friendship and love.
Pause and listen. Life is beautiful, it is fleeting and it is now.

Buying a hammered dulcimer is a lot like buying a new car. You think about it and dream about it for months - maybe even years on end. I know, I've been there. I've worked through the decisions of "which make or model" to buy. What size should I get? Do I buy for "now" or should I buy for the future? Whether this is your first hammered dulcimer or an upgrade, there's a lot of information to sift through.

I'd really like to make this process easier for you. Let's talk. You tell me what you're dreaming of in a dulcimer and I can suggest some options for you. All you have to do then is check out my suggestions and tell me which one makes your heart beat faster. It's really just that easy!

Because I have the distinct pleasure of selling hammered dulcimers made by the two best builders in the world - Master Works and Dusty Strings - I have the best of the best to share with you. I would love to help you find your beautiful new dulcimer! Please email or call me anytime, I'm here to make this simple!

Is your heart racing yet?
