Since t.Ms album 11 "WOefully bereft. of ade · quat.e album notea, much must. be left unsaid. wt.o is J1m Corr' Unless you ' re related to hlSl or next. door oeighbor, you ' d never kzlov. Each ot the back- up .."sicians are Siven a brief int.TO on the albu., but the star?? Equall¥ scarce are notea about the CUts. Only bec:luse Bob llutchlnaon dropped me a note do I know that all cuts are JI~ Corr originals except for the "June Apple" number. From close examination, I tound this album. to be quite pleaslLOt in the old t1llley vein, alJaost edging into old country mUBic. The dulc1aer work is all back- up. TIlose who would like t.O know how a dulcilller can fit int.O a band aituatlon ought to give this a listen . Hutchinson, fraa Peons)'l· vania, does noth1..ng particularly tlashy or extraorjinary but. he doea give the total flavor ot tb~ ba.s.banJo-lI,utot.arp..guitar ~bination an extra nice apice. The yo. cab are wel.-done with old - timey flavor. Part.icularly interest.ing cuts were "Wee Filloori Man" vHh an App5.lachian- Irlsh aou1, "June Apple" with top notch inatru_ mentation, "£1 Piahera," "Be Your Own 0IlIM Soldier."

HAPPr IlAl'MERING ARTISTS: Lilah Gillet.t and Harvey Prinz IABEL: Private

l'HE IRISH DULCDG:R AUTHOR: lela Hornboatel

Labellln& Lilah Gillet.t anj Harvey Prinz as traditional musicians would be a bit unaccurate. Theae two Overland Park, Kansas natives aren ' t exactly steeped in the kind of heritage IlIUdc .15 you' d find in IIOre .auntainous resions, although who ' s to say t.hey don't pl.ay traditional 8Usic of t.he PllIins. Their two hamlllere<l dulcimers !:re played in a style only de scribed aa Lilah and Harvey style. Songs auch as "Never On Sunjay,K "Mockingbird Hlll, K KChop.lticks" and "Scaethlng Stupid K are characterized vith such an overriding unhurried gentleness that the spirit is alaost lett. out of t.he tunes. They are interest.ingly arr anged, nevertheless. There are a few "tradItional" hammereJ du1cu.er pieces on th1l album: "St . Anne's Reel, K "Eighth or JaniJ8Ty, K "GreeMastle Kor:lplpe." These, too, IU"e treated with a subN.rey tempo. "nI.is 11 DOt. to say speed equals Quality on hum~red dulc1ll!r. But so llany hammered dulcimer albums are rast and fUrious that it takes a bit of " Get.tina; used to" on thll album when t.ht tempo 11 IIIOre sedated . "Wabash Cannonball- approsches a bit of steam on thls otnervi!). slO',, - pa~ a.lbUID . All in all, "HaPP1 ~ering" is II nice album to ~dd to your collection if you ' re looking for a dirterent style .

Lois Kornbo3Lel Yaoted not onl,y to prelent a sampling for dulcimer of the dra. .tic and joyful kind of melodies that. have m"de Irhh folk alsic popular, but to also make available II, selection of several playing technique. that. ean expand the _ntain dulcimer . Although the section on play1ns stylea and techniques is quite ll&1ted., the 80 page book is crallllled to its delightful brim vith dozens of airs, O' Carolan cCI'IIpolit.iona, tiddle t.unes of all kind. (Jigs. hornpipes, polka., reela) and so is a tine source book . Although .. very beginning beginner WOIlld rind Lola ' book not quite •• helpful tor basic skills as some ot.hera On the III8.l'ket, IDOre experienced. players WQuld discover s~ real "finds" here. The t.unes are written wit.h accompanilDent. chords and IllUd::al notation .15 vell as the dulcu.er tabulat.ure .
