Hello everybody,
I somehow missed this page when I joined a fortnight or so ago.
I live in Shrewsbury where I was born and where I came back to when I retired --- but I've always been a poor(AH!)and proud Salopian.
I have been an amateur clarinetist most of my life involved in all sorts of music making & spending several years running a clarinet
choir in the Midlands.At one period I was very much involved with recorder playing, and enjoyed playing with a mixed quartet.
At another time I was a regular at the Warwick Folk Club and enjoyed the music and the company there, which was sometimes excellent
and sometimes---???We enjoyed it anyway.
Eighteen years ago I married, Marian, an American lady and of course I had to"SUSS" the place out and decided that she was very definitely,doing the right thing!!
While I was there I bought a "build yourself"dulcimer--- the man did say it was easy to play--- how did I know he was joking?
It is a Black Mountain dulcimer which I am struggling to learn on until Matthew Bascetta has time to produce a good one for me.
Now that I am unable to blow my clarinet the Dulcimer certainly offers a testing challenge and I look forward to meeting new friends too.
Best wishes,
Roy(salopian)
