Good morning everyone, especially 
				to those who chose and were able to spend time with us this past 
				week/weekend/Saturday 

				at the 30th Buckeye Dulcimer Festival.    

I know … I’m leadership … and 
				probably, a little biased …. But, I thought it was an amazing 
				festival for this time period in our 

				lives (recovering from pandemic issues).      

Considerable thought was given to 
				choosing instructors …. 

				1) quality instruction; 2) team player;
				3) able to roll with ever changing ideas; 4) great folks. 

				A big checkmark on all of these.

BDF support staff … 
				Amazing!  They took care of so many ‘behind the scenes’ 
				issues. 

				Debbie and Brian at the registration table, Mike on the the golf 
				carts and monitoring Jody’s zoom class, 

				Diane teaching as well as support, and Shirley with her lists 
				and organizational skills kept us focused and on track.

When I think of Joe and Chris … 
				frankly, words seem so inadequate, but I’ll give it a try. 

				With the loss of Joyce to the pandemic, Joe and Chris were there 
				for me!  After a few months, 

				we focused on music.  For that time, it was the zoom jam 
				concept. 

				Then … commitment and focus on live music (traveling zoom jams) 
				… then… focus on the 30th BDF. 

				It’s been nearly ALL CONSUMING, but …. We gave it our all!!!

We’ll read evaluations next week! 
				Then start planning for BDF 2024!!!!

				Sincerely,

				Shari

Ps: don’t put all the wonderful 
				music in a drawer …. Play it!!!

DISCOVERY CLASSES

Buckeye Roadshow's first Discovery Day
in Bucyrus, Ohio is in the history books.

There are now two new clawhammer banjo players, one new hammer dulcimer players and two new mountain dulcimer players.

The schedule included three hours on instruction, first jam, and then an evening jam.

If you've always wanted to play an instrument,
this is your opportunity live and in person.

Check back for our next DISCOVERY CLASS and location within the Buckeye Dulcimer Festival area.

Clawhammer Banjo (Joe)
Hammered Dulcimer (Chris)
Mountain Dulcimer (Shari)

**************************

We'll come your way!

If your group or club would like to sponsor one of these Discovery Days for their local community,
email Chris Steiner.

Chris can tailor this event with your local community in mind including featured instruments and scheduling needs.

It is amazing the number of instruments that are under the bed or hanging on the wall that are begging to be played.

With so many club memberships decreasing, this day could be a great way to spark interest.
