Dulcimer Geek Podcast - Seifert and Landrum

Can you believe it? Once again, Dan and Steve are checking in. Come have a listen.

Stephen Seifert goes solo for episode 93. Find out what's up.

Dan and I catch up.

Is Bb warmer than C, or do you just need counseling? Butch Ross joins Dan and Steve for a discussion about tuning down and an odd Hungarian scale. Here’s a link to the Bb tuned dulcimer: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10219135462201848&set=a.1577962213394&type=3&theater

Russell Cook Joins Dan and Steve to talk about hammered dulcimer innovation.

Maybe you don't need a shorter instrument. Instead, try this technique for shortening long stretches like the 1-2-4. Also, Steve responds to Dan's test of the mid-side recording technique.

Dan and Steve talk about life a bit, missed opportunities and sleeping with podcasts before deep diving into the recording technique called mid-side. The podcast even includes an audio demonstration of how this technique creates a stereo field with no worries about phase cancellation. After exhausting that topic, Steve gets geeky about capos.

Vrooom, vrooooom. The Dulcimer Geeks have restarted their engines.

Dan and Aaron in England with special guest Amanda Boyd who joins us to talk about collaborating of songs from the Cecil Sharp collection.

In this episode we start out by talking about coaching versus teaching. Seifert shows up, we meander as usual, and then Aaron opens a bottle of scotch. Things pretty much go downhill from there. Welcome to our first two hour podcast. We hope you survive.

Alexa joins the Aaron, Stephen, and Dan as the geek on about dulcimer-tech and copyrights.

Why modes matter.

Dan Landrum and Aaron O'Rourke discuss their show at Sarasota, Fl in a venue called Fogertyville. Topics include treating each show as an experiment and audiences as focus groups. 

Aaron and Steve blab without Dan. When the cats away...

This was recorded in a room full of people playing music, PLUS the main recording device failed. Still, the conversation with Bing Futch, Lorinda Jones, David Beede, Guy George, and Dan Landrum was fun, so we decided to go ahead and share it.

Seifert, Landrum, and O'Rourke, keep it weird, have to use the bleep button for the first time, and still love dulcimers.

Dan and Aaron in the dog days of summer cleaning roofs and playing festivals.

Steve and Dan get serious about marketing and the fish are back, but now with plants.

Meet our significant others so you can know for whom it is you feel sorry. 

Steve moves on and returns his fish, Dan flies back from Glen Rose and Aaron puts a nickel under the 14th fret.

Dan and Steve talk about productivity practices until they get distracted by the most versatile chord of them al, the m7b5. 

Aaron and Steve ramble for just under two hours about almost everything.

Aaron teaches Dan how to do his nails, but only on the right hand. This is about getting great tone when fingerpicking your instrument. 

Recorded on St. Patrick's Day, 2017. We focus on playing Irish music and other obsessions.
