I miss my music. Work has a way of taking away my time. And this blasted sinus allergy/fungal infection that doesn't go away, ruins my voice and I don't have the desire to sing when it sounds like a croak. Is it living in the big city? It certainly has been a worse problem since I moved to Columbus, Ohio.

I do play and sing some with the hammer dulcimer. But my other instruments have mainly been collecting dust. 😞

Since yahoo decided that the Yahoo groups would be improved by deleting all my music files (the calendar function broke a couple years ago), I have moved my dulcimer music to groups.io. I tried MeWe hoping that would work for files but who wants to look for music in an unalphabetized list. Groups.io does display them first in the order they were entered but you can click to alphabetize the lists. And it has all the great functions that yahoo groups used to have. Only drawback is I can't let the group get too large (500 or more) or I have to pay. But when you start over, most of the former members don't bother to join the new group.

I have decided to put more time and effort into the music at https://groups.io/g/publicdomaindulcimer .

Will arrange music for I-pad display and arrange the music for hammer dulcimer, too. In time, I might need to move the hammer dulcimer music to a different group.
