 Nearly twenty years ago, Tull Glazener was given his first mountain dulcimer as a Christmas present. He had grown up playing piano, organ, and several brass instruments all through high school and college, but had never seen or heard of a dulcimer before. Because it only has 3 strings, and only half the frets of most stringed instruments, Tull dismissed it as just a toy, and not a "real instrument". So he thanked the gift-giver profusely, put the dulcimer in a closet, and forgot about it. Several years laterTull happened upon the Central Indiana Folk Music and Mountain Dulcimer Society's annual festival at Eagle Creek Park in Indianapolis, and heard a couple of guest artists performing on the instrument. Tull was amazed at its versatility and captivated by its sound, immediately went home and dug his mountain dulcimer out the closet, joined the organization, found a teacher to get him started, and has rarely put it down since. |
 Guy George, from Cleveland, Ohio, is a rhythmic, melodic hammered dulcimer player with a definite jazz influence to his playing style. Guy comes from a background in jazz and performance on the saxophone, having studied at Berklee College of Music in Boston; honing his skills playing with many jazz influenced musicians in the Boston and New York area. He has settled outside Cleveland, Ohio and presently plays hammered dulcimer, tenor, alto and soprano saxophones, flute, steel drum and keyboard. He tours throughout the United States and Canada performing and recording and teaching workshops on the hammered dulcimer and penny whistle. His most recent recordings are with Maddie MacNeil on her latest CD "As Time Goes By"; David Moran and Joe Morgan on their latest CD "I Wish They Hadn't Done That"; Tull Glazener on his latest CD "Plays Well With Others"; and his own creation "Dream Castle". |
