Josh Ritter – Joy To You Baby
A evening pause: Hat tip Danae.
Malcolm Dalglish – Solo on the hammer dulcimer
An evening pause: Dalglish performed, wrote, and recorded some of the best hammered dulcimer music ever. I wish there had been some better camera angles on his fingerwork, but watch how he actually starts to play the dulcimer almost like a guitar.

Brandon Ridenour & Jeremy Jordan – Maxwell’s Silver Hammer

Ashley Campbell – Pancho and Lefty
An evening pause: This stellar performance by Glen Campbell’s daughter actually allowed me to hear the words of the song for the first time, and thus I ask, was Lefty Pancho’s killer, or was Lefty Pancho himself? Either way, a beautiful poem performed beautifully.
