Dulcimer Friends & family--below is where you can order my mountain dulcimer instruction book & dulcimer CDS "Chickens Crowin At Midnight" from 2003

2020 Deep South Mountain Dulcimer Champion Mary Z. Cox presents

Dulcimer Dawg's Hotpicks of favorite traditional tunes !

Yep--there's some mountain dulcimer on every track--but always banjo and many friends & family on other instruments too. Its been 18 years since Mary Z recorded a mountain dulcimer-centric CD--Elvis was not even born then !  Sadly Elvis left the house last week after 15 years of basset service & modeling--he's the coverboy for this CD & he & his sister Priscilla sing a vocal on track 11.

 CDs are here & it's wonderful listening !!!!!

Mary Z has field tested it dancing around doing housework & driving in the car.  And all the tunes are in standard keys played in jam sessons--so you can play along on your instrument from your own home :)

                                    Easy String Band Method for the Mountain Dulcimer Book

                        & instructional CD $20  (Digital code for CD included)
