In my last post I mentioned that my sister Jean was getting ready to present her first house concert. Here’s a YouTube clip of one of her selections on lap dulcimer, a tune known to old time musicians as John Stinson’s #2. Jean learned this version from Mary Z. Cox.

I started out with a category called "Possibly Neat Stuff." Useless, because it probably all is to me. Who knows how many others?

Great clip of a great performance of this tune — the best version I’ve seen on YouTube. Of course, I’m biased since I’m the OTHER sister.
