===========================

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

“Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ. ”   Colossians 2:16-17

  1. Thanks David & Karen, for keeping us so well informed. Without ya’ll who knows would show up when or where!!!! LOL to both of you!!! xoxoxxoooxxxoo

  5. The JP coleman festival is August 17th – 19th. I have just talked with Larry Kendall to confirm this, as several places have it posted as the 2nd weekend which is incorrect.

  6. I am a beginner dulcimer learner, and recently found this site. I can’t seem to find your beginner “lessons”, only finding your jams, which are great, but way above anything I can do. Is there a link somewhere that will get me to the beginner lessons. Thank you so much for any help.

  8. Mr Bennett, I have a David Fields dulcimer and the nut at the top has broken. Can you recommend someone locally who could and would repair it? I live in north Huntsville. Thank you, sir. Karen Reed  earthstar@mchsi.com
