I have another retail store and another bookstore where Homer in Dulcimer X'ing can be found. The process is very slow as I try to add retail outlets for my book. Having limited time I can only contact businesses when I have free time. I have been fortunate to have most of the businesses I contact agree to put the book in their stores. I feel great pride in knowing something I have created is being accepted. It also looks like a local newspaper I contacted is willing to do a review of my book...

I have created a page for Homer on Facebook and I am having fun with different posts for Homer. through Facebook Homer gets to tell a little about himself and different things he may be doing. Each day Homer is up to something else. One day he may be practicing playing the dulcimer. Another what he is going to do with the holiday off. And still another packing for a trip. I want to use his facebook page as a place where Homer can just be Homer and talk about himself a little. I hope a lot mor...

Today I have added a new tab to the website. This tab is about Dulcimer X'ing being available as a fundraiser to schools, daycare centers, churches, and youth organizations. I am excited about providing my book as a fundraiser and having Dulcimer X'ing available to our youth. Reading is so important and I want to encourage our children to read more. If I can encourage this by doing a book - funraiser then I am more then happy to be able to do it. When you get a chance check out the new Fundra...

Today was our monthly meeting of our dulcimer group. We had a good turnout with several members who are our winter snowbirds and have now returned for another winter season. It is always good to see old friends and to pick up where we left off last year. Dulcimer groups are first and foremost friends who happen to play and make music together. The dulcimer may be what brought us together but once you are introduced it seems like you have known each other for years. We all have different style...
