You are invited to join the Morgan County Dulcimer Association; a non-profit organization established in April 2000 for the enjoyment and fellowship of people interested in playing, building, and/or listening to the mountain dulcimer.
Association dues are $5.00 per year per family to cover the cost of our monthly newsletter and other miscellaneous expenses. We meet the 2nd Saturday of each month at the Priceville United Methodist Church, 318 highway 67 south across from Priceville middle/high school , with bowed psaltery and autoharp practice at 1:00, lessons at 3:00 p.m. for those interested and a short business meeting at 4:00 p.m. with jamming and group play afterwards.
Please join the "Fretted Friends" at our next meetings-- if you play an instrument (guitar, autoharp, flute, hammered dulcimer, fiddle, banjo, mandolin, etc.) or if you are just interested in making new friends and enjoying music and would like to join us, you are welcome to attend.
