This is Terry, fiddler and bouzouki-ist in "Sonas." We're from the thumb area of Michigan. We're a 3 person group, the guitarist is a guitar teacher in Caro, and our hammered dulcimer player gives lessons, too. Hey folks, "Live Bait" is one of the best recordings you'll ever hear. My brother in Grand Rapids lent it to me and now we're fighting over it!! Anyway, if you need some music in the Thumb, give us a jingle.

I have been playing mountain duclimer for two years. I play for my own pleaseure and like real folk music, and the old hymns that we sang in church when I was a child. There are not many people in S.W. Michigan who play a dulcimer, or even know what one is. I'm always looking for someone local to play with.
