Celtic songs and slow airs

Last january I received my first dulcimer, and have since gone on to collect a few more.
 I never imagined how it would change my world. How these three strings stretched across the length of 37 inches of wood , would bend and straighten my heart. That emotion and science can coalesce and restore my sense of purpose and passion for living.

Here are a couple of Celtic songs & slow airs that I have been practicing , arranged by Neal Hellman for mountain dulcimer
