With my partner and  performing as Common Ground,  a 'steet tape'  of traditional music was recorded years ago for sale at festivals and parties  outside the US to avoid the aggravation of traveling across international borders with a commercial product. These tunes are simply examples of the music on that street tape.

It is a recording featuring 2 hammered dulcimers in duet, a penny whistle and mountain dulcimer, playing traditional tunes - and a few  songs.

The recording was called: Old Music For Strange Times

I hope you enjoy it.
