At the FarWest Regional meeting of the Folk Alliance in Eugene, Oregon, Oct 20-23, 2011, I was able to hear this lyrical hammered dulcimer player for the first time.

Carolyn Cruso, from Orcas, Washington, plays in a spirited way bringing music from mystical places.  As we talked, I realized that my workshops at Dusty Strings (Seattle) the previous weekend, included one of her new beginner students.

Let her know you appreciate her playing!  www.carolyncruso.com
