Leo Kretzner / Jay Leibovitz - Dulcimer Fair album flac

Leo Kretzner is a singer/songwriter who plays guitar and the mountain dulcimer (which he is known to give teaching workshops on) Kretzner grew up in Michigan. He discovered the dulcimer which became his passion and led to recording a few records in the early eighties along with Jay Leibovitz called ‘Dulcimer Fair’ and ‘Pigtown Fling’ and then recorded a solo lp called 'Bold Orion' in 1983 and toured the east and Midwest and also taught at the Music Emporeum in Cambridge, Mass.

President Records made it pretty easy for metal-heads and other non-folk types to avoid this album; the combination of a band named Dulcimer and the title ‘Rob’s Garden’ written below a bucolic painting of an English summer cottage scene should instantly clear up any doubt about this being anything but a staid, easy-going acoustic folk record.

I grew up in Detroit, MI, and started playing mtn dulcimer in 1975 after having played drums and guitar. The first dulcimer I ever saw was when Brian Jones played one at a Rolling Stones concert, on "Ruby Tuesday. I subsequently saw one here or there at folk music events and finally had to get one after having a chance to play one and staying up till the wee hours doing so. I took a few lessons with Margaret MacArthur who was very influential on me in left-hand technique such as hammer-ons and pull-offs.
