This dulcimer album is for relaxed listening.  It has 25 slow and beautiful tunes from Ireland, England, Scotland, Germany, Finland, Romania, and America.  Many of the tunes are very familiar to everyone, but I have included some obscure ones, chosen for their melodic content. The title cut is a short, rousing tune in the middle of the album - a wake up tune. 

Members of the band Cantiga, Bob Bielefeld, Martha Gay and the late Malcolm Smith play throughout the album. Once again Tim Crouch performs on the fiddle on some tunes, while late Malcolm Smith plays violin on the more classical stylings.  Fiddler Malcolm performed for over 20 years at Renaissance Festivals and was a virtuoso on the violin.  He passed away suddenly in October, 1996, and is missed by us all.  There is also guitar, bass violin, harp, mandolin, fute, dumbek and piano on this relaxing album. 

Lay back with a good book, eat a fine supper, or snuggle up with your favorite person as you enjoy this familiar collection of melodic tunes.  If you want to order it, just click here.
