Scott is generously permitting us to create and maintain "social" subgroups on the splendid Cafe. I participate in several and find discussion of particular interest to me, as well as inspiration and edification. I started a group for hammered dulcimerists, largely because of a palpable lack of a viable forum elsewhere--I'll refrain from offering critiques of those here. It's great to be able to talk other instruments here, especially since, IMO, this is the best instrument site around, anyway.

Any players of HD, please check it out: http://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/group.php?groupid=129

(Thanks, Scott)
