Professionally transferred from its original 1976 16mm format release onto DVD, Gene DuBay’s remarkable film captures the friendship of I.D. Stamper and John McCutcheon in a back yard visit at I.D.’s shop. Stories, songs and playing strategies are non-stop in the film and the musical talents of both men are shared for us all to appreciate and learn from.
Whether you are yearning to play the mountain dulcimer the traditional way, or learning to tame the hammer dulcimer, this film is worth seeing – and don’t be surprised by just how many times you end up watching it! There is much to learn here from two masters.
