OWL MOUNTAIN MUSIC 
STEVE EULBERG/A Piece of It All: Long time instrumentalist goes for the vocals and sounds like a cross between early Leo Kottke on a Clancy Brothers binge. This cat can keep his balance tipping his chair back on two legs while letting the back porch music flow through him. Heartland music well grounded in heartland music festivals with a vibe to match.

DPN Interview about Contests 

Butch Ross interviewed several people connected with the National Dulcimer Contests at the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas and I was included as one of the interviewees. Since I've never won the big kahuna prize (1st place) I'm not listed in the title...thus my claim to being the "John MacEnroe of the Dulcimer World".
