One of the last unanswered questions, from the Mailing List - "Is there any hammered duclimer music for Rich's music?" Finally we can say "Yes!"

Jay Kidwell pursued a music degree at Cincinnati Bible College in the late 70's, where he met and became friends with Rich Mullins. Jay's career ended up in the field of Psychology, and he returned to CBC to teach. However, he and his family, like all of us, came to appreciate and enjoy Rich's music and ministry, and miss him greatly.

While no one will ever be able to replace Rich, or play hammered dulcimer like him (except maybe Michael Aukofer), Jay has put together an good instructional resource modeled after Rich's playing style.

Hammered Dulcimer ragamuffin style! teaches you to play rhythm and accompaniment, slow and sweet or fast and furious, through simple chord shapes and hammering patterns. It approaches the hammered dulcimer with a unique style that is quick and easy to learn and brings tremendous versatility to this wonderful instrument. The book has an exclusive companion web page resource that is peridically updated to include video clips of different hammering patterns, as well as links to other online resources for hammered dulcimer instruments, lyrics & chords, and more.

It is now available for purchase from Amazon, the Better Book Room, or directly from Jay at a discount price.
