This is my first CD, Of Things To Come..., recorded in 2004, released in December 2004. It contains only hammered dulcimer, and the tunes are from American Old-Time, Irish and Scottish traditions with one English tune thrown in 'cause it was just too cool a tune to leave out. It also contains a few tunes of my own. You can hear some clips of the tunes on the CD page on my website or at CDBaby (see links below).
Christmas CD - I am also working on a Christmas CD, hopefully, to be out before Christmas (2009).
Documentary - I have done all the fun part of interviewing people in Ireland (2003-2008), and now have to find out what I have and put together the video for the documentary on the Hammered Dulcimer in Co. Antrim, which follows the music and musical legacy of John Rea of Glenarm, Co. Antrim. I hope this will be done in time to take it over to show in Co. Antrim, etc. next year sometime (2010). I do have a 10 minute "preview" of sorts which I made for my final project class at Center for documentary Studies at Dike which can currently be shown for interested private groups.

I'll be glad to show you what I know, which should take 10 minutes, maybe 5.
I've only taken two lessons, myself.
Thanks for the compliment on the CD, George.
