Episode 10: Deb Justice (Hammered Dulcimer in Old Time Music)

Cameron DeWhitt — Wed, 07 Sep 2016 00:00:00 -0700

Hi friends! I hope you’re all ready to Get Up in the Cool, by which I mean, get transported to a magical fairy land because this week for episode 10 Deb Justice brought her hammered dulcimer. Deb has her PhD in ethnomusicology, so she’s real nerdy about this stuff, which, as you should know by now, is very welcome on this show! Also, she’s quite snarky, because she has to be; there’s a social cost to playing hammered dulcimer in the old time community, which I don’t understand, because it’s a captivating instrument, but I’ll let her explain that in more detail.

Stick around after the interview for details on how to support the show and get access to this week’s bonus track! Also, there is an accompanying video, so make sure to click on the link in the episode’s description and share it on Facebook!

Deb Justice, everybody. Here it comes.
