https://www.rpmchallenge.com/“We work not only to produce but to give value to time.” (Delacroix)Ten years ago I participated in the RPM Song Challenge: 10 songs in 30 days. I chose the theme of “Time” - (a fertile and elastic subject), for my inventions.  Included here are 4 songs from that creative surge.It is said that time moves more quickly the older one gets. My brain can't compute that it's been ten years since these songs popped into being; It seemed like a speck.I hadn't heard these recordings since that time - they had been committed to little mini cards, and salted away in an obscure container. I've since moved, and I thought the files had been lost to the sands of…… well, you know.But, Eureka!  I remembered that I had logged entries into my diary, notating the precise location of each tune: (which card, the sequence of titles, and timings for each). And, they appeared! Talk about foresight, and good time-management… temporarily.So, in praise of our brief, yet glorious existence on this globe, allow me to share:Time Bends - An instrumental trinket, with one simple lyric stanza. It was created on a Mountain Dulcimer that had been gifted to me, and I recall becoming awestruck by its warm tone and craftsmanship. I felt that I needed to establish a relationship with it, and It didn't disappoint - lovingly responding to my explorations with this haunting melody. 50 Years Ago Today - As the challenge was taking place, there was a lot of press coverage on the approaching 50th anniversary of The Beatles appearance at Shea Stadium, which immediately reconnected me with my 12 year old self, and we pondered how the relentless bulldozer of time had flattened us. Our Bodies Are One - Though originally written in 2014 in response to another news story about a devoted husband and wife's long separation during his incarceration, and eventual death. As I listen to it anew, each line resonates with the tragic events that have transpired recently in a Siberian prison. I dedicate this song to Alexei and Yulia Navalny.Dada Dancehall - The music critic and historian, Greil Marcus a wrote a fascinating book connecting the dots between the Punk movement of the 1970s with the Dadaists of the World War I era.  In this song, Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols time travels to the Cabaret Voltaire of 1916, to sing a duet with Hugo Ball, the creator of the Dada Manifesto.

056 In this episode we're exploring Early Music on the mountain dulcimer. Although the mountain dulcimer didn't exist until centuries after the Early Music time frame, its tonality fits perfectly with the temperament of Early Music. With music from Howie Mitchell, Holly Tannen, and Jessica Comeau.

Holiday music-- both nostalgic and festive-- infuses our winter season with warmth and comfort. Our guests this evening usher in the holiday with the distinctive sounds of the Mountain and Hammered dulcimers. The trio called Nero's Fiddle, based in Lexington, Kentucky. They came together only a couple of years ago, and they've delighted audiences in the region who enjoy traditional Appalachian tunes arranged for Mountain Dulcimer, which is the official Kentucky State instrument. Nero's Fiddle also performs a lovely repertoire of holiday tunes which they bring with them today. The Ted Yoder Band, from Indianapolis Indiana arranges and performs an eclectic range of music featuring a percussive pairing of marimba and hammered dulcimer. We know many consider the band's lovely holiday album, Comfort and Joy, to be among their favorites during the winter months. We are honored to have the Ted Yoder Band and Nero's Fiddle here on Red Barn Radio to help us ring in the holiday season.

Dan and I catch up.

Is Bb warmer than C, or do you just need counseling? Butch Ross joins Dan and Steve for a discussion about tuning down and an odd Hungarian scale.

Russell Cook Joins Dan and Steve to talk about hammered dulcimer innovation.

Maybe you don't need a shorter instrument. Instead, try this technique for shortening long stretches like the 1-2-4. Also, Steve responds to Dan's test of the mid-side recording technique.

Dan and Steve talk about life a bit, missed opportunities and sleeping with podcasts before deep diving into the recording technique called mid-side. The podcast even includes an audio demonstration of how this technique creates a stereo field with no worries about phase cancellation. After exhausting that topic, Steve gets geeky about capos.

Vrooom, vrooooom. The Dulcimer Geeks have restarted their engines.

Ashley Ernst is taking the reins at Dulcimer Players News Magazines. She joins Aaron, Dan, and Angie for a get-to-know-you session.

Dan and Steve pick up where they left off.

Dan and Aaron in England with special guest Amanda Boyd who joins us to talk about collaborating of songs from the Cecil Sharp collection.

In this episode we start out by talking about coaching versus teaching. Seifert shows up, we meander as usual, and then Aaron opens a bottle of scotch. Things pretty much go downhill from there. Welcome to our first two hour podcast. We hope you survive.

Alexa joins the Aaron, Stephen, and Dan as the geek on about dulcimer-tech and copyrights.

Why modes matter.

Dan, Stephen, and Aaron talk about getting caught up while the radar is turned off.

Join us for the drive back home from Florida as Dan and Aaron deconstruct their show at Sarasota's Fogertyville.

Aaron and Steve blab without Dan. When the cats away...

How do you respond when a student says, "I don't want to play like you?" And, where does activism fit into the dulcimer community?

This was recorded in a room full of people playing music, PLUS the main recording device failed. Still, the conversation with Bing Futch, Lorinda Jones, David Beede, Guy George, and Dan Landrum was fun, so we decided to go ahead and share it.

Dan and Aaron live create an ethereal composition for an upcoming performance with dancers.

Aaron O'Rourke, Dan Landrum, Stephen Seifert, Erin Mae-Lewis, Amber Rogers-Clark, Sarah Morgan, and Silent Shad Clark all sit down to talk about teaching and learning at the Black Mountain Dulcimer Festival.

Welcome to Get Up in the Cool: Old Time Music with Cameron DeWhitt and Friends. This week’s friend is Hunter Walker from Long Point String Band, with special guest guitarist and also friend Brian Bell! Hunter plays the mountain dulcimer, an instrument I haven’t had much exposure to, so… I’m probably not qualified to say this, but I think he’s probably the best. I heard him play for the first time the night before we recorded this and I had an immediate, physically emotional reaction. The man’s music is breathtaking. And when it’s not breathtaking, it’s super fun and clever. I'm excited for you all to hear it!

Did the mountain dulcimer just get associated with neo-nazis on a nationally syndicated radio program. Why yes, it did. (This is an updated version. The first upload had a glitch in the last 8 minutes.)

Steve and Dan get serious about marketing and the fish are back, but now with plants.

Dan and Aaron invite you to a real practice session.

My grandson, Barrett, joins me and Aaron to talk about the art of making things up.
