When I was little, Dad made a dulcimer. He got it all ready to to and took it to Mamaw. Nobody has ever been happier with something and gotten more use from something than that dulcimer.
Thank you, Donnie, for sharing another interesting story. It's always a blessing to meet friends of yours. Time spent with your friends is the most valuable gift a person can receive. God 🙏 bless 🙏.
That was so sweet and such a great story. I enjoyed hearing him play the dulcimer, they have such a unique sound. I love it. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I remember when I was in junior high school, I had a teacher from the North Carolina mountains that played the dulcimer like this one. She played it during heritage week.
So near to my home place of younger years. Love the Dulcimer. Your friend can play it well. Thank you for sharing this Mr. Laws, much appreciated. God bless you all
I have a dulcimer that belonged to my great grandmother in Middlesburo Ky. I also have my grandfather’s banjo from KJ Ky, and dobro from a great uncle in North Carolina. I can’t play any of them but I treasure each and every one of them.
Good evening Donnie,Thank You so much for sharing your friend and his Dulcimer with us. I absolutely Love the way it sounds and reminds me of the Mountains. God Bless You my Friend!😊❤🙏🏻🎶
The sound of the dulcimer in Appalacian music is great Donnie....along with the Guitars..Mandolin...Banjo...Fiddle and the stand up Bass Fiddle....good music. Thank you for the video Brother.
Thank you for sharing your friend with us, Donnie! My grumps was from Louisa, KY and his family moved there from Tennessee before that. His grandfather was a woodworker and made dulcimers, furniture, and weaving looms. It’s haunting to hear the old American instruments still played, makes my heart happy! I have a bowed psaltery myself and love the sound. Good health to you and Curt!
What a nice surprise. Thanx for a lovely video to my evening,always love that. Nothing better than mountain people music faith good food and great conversation.😊❤
Many of us Love and buy Musical Instruments, Not that we can play them, but Love the craftsmanship and woodwork and we keep the hope that Maybe! 1 day we will be able to play...

My mother's brother married a lady (Aunt Ruth) from a border county near Tennesse. She could play the dulcimer. She was very good and would go visit and listen to her play.
My 94 year old dad still makes them in western Nc and sells them at shows and fairs. He has been making them for probably 25 years made me a special one. He plays. His deceased friend worked with him and they played together. My dad is in Candler outside of Asheville.
Thank you so much for sharing this, cousin Donnie! I wish I could have been there, listening to you fellers swapping yarns and telling stories! I love the sound of a dulcimer! G-d bless, dear cousin, and please pray for the peace of Yerushalayim !
That was a fun divertisemant. 😂 that's what we call a short "side dance" in ballet. What it reminded me of. And the peasant dances are always the best! I love old string instruments. The dulcimer is an old instrument it goes back many centuries. I love these stories Donnie, keep'em coming!
I had a friend who had a dulcimer that I loved to play whenever I came over to visit when I was a kid. I bought a cheap one to play a few years ago, but it didn't sound the same so I sold it. I would love to have a real one someday.
Thank you for sharing your friend and his dulcimer with us. It was a treat. I think the sounds of the old instruments are beautiful and kind of haunting. Years ago, I was visiting E TN and bought a psaltry. I love that sound too. Looking forward to hearing more stories…
My Grandmother gave me my Grandpa's mountain dulcimer when he passed away in the year 2000. It was hand crafted in Tennessee. It is one of my favorite things that belonged to him.
That is such a beautiful instrument. Remember as a kid watching Hee Haw and hearing the beautiful sound of the Dulcimer. Dad tried to get one he played fiddle and a few other instruments but he couldn't buy one anywhere as we lived in Northern Canada . Great that you got to meet up with your friend. Keep Safe .❤Keep Well❤
Mr. Donnie thank you for sharing this little video. I had never heard or knew what a Dulcimer was until now we learn something new every day. Have a good night ❤️
Good evening Donnie….What a treat…Wonderful video…. Thank You ❤….Great musician…..❤️Looking forward to hearing the stories he shared with you…..Take care and God Bless You 🙏🏻💯❤️☦️🇮🇱…Lord willing I will see you next time
I have a mountain dulcimer made in the early 60s in North Carolina. It won't hold a tune very well but I have enjoyed playing it a little. It's a beautiful instrument.
My kinsman, Edd Presnell over in Avery County NC, made dulcimers and wooden toys. It was always a good time visiting with him and Aunt Nettie. Love these stories. Blessings...
My dad played banjo, dulcimer, and guitar and sang tenor in a blue grass gospel band back in the early 80’s. Takes me back to being a kid listening my dad play and sing. He had his thyroid removed and it damaged his vocal chords and the death of his mom and then his sister took the music out of him. But last time i visited he sang some with my daughter and that made me smile. I’m working on getting digital versions of his band’s audio tapes so i can upload them to you tube
Our preachers wife brought one to church and played it before prayer meeting one Wednesday night some years back. I had never heard one she played it beautifully.
Beautiful! What a beautiful sound! I miss the days when I was a young girl and my family would gather together. My uncle’s and cousins would play guitar, banjo, fiddle, the gut bucket bass- and sing the old songs. Good blue grass music. It’s a lost art. Which is sad. Wonderful good old time music 🎶 God bless you Mr. Laws.
When I was little, Dad made a dulcimer. He got it all ready to to and took it to Mamaw. Nobody has ever been happier with something and gotten more use from something than that dulcimer.
