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.

Thanks to Heather Stenner and the Music Performance Fund (MPF) of the American Federation of Musicians (AFM), I was able to give a concert for Rice Elementary (Wellington) 3-5th graders as an introduction to the Strings Curriculum for the Spring Term.  I'll give a follow-up concert in March for the Kindergarten-2nd graders.  

After the show Heather sent me this PDF file with photos from the first concert, backed by some music she had. Enjoy!  Rice Concert 2010

Thanks to funding from the school, I was also…

We (Peter Anthony, Mary Zimmerman and I) won an Opus Award from the OpenStage Theater Company for our original music for the "Arabian Nights" show staged last September. I'm adding sound samples in the music section from the demo recording we made of the music.

Here's another video from KDVX's Blue Plate Special on July 31, 2008. This time I'm playing "O Virgin--ee-i-a" on my Clemmer Mountain Dulcimer with a noter.

WDVX Knoxville, hosts the daily Blue Plate Special (12-1 pm) at the station which is inside the Knoxville Visitors' Center on Summit and Gay Streets. Matt Morelock was the host and Talid Magdy, from the Knxville News Sentinel the videographer. Here I am playing John Jacob Niles' "I Wonder as I Wander" on hammered dulcimer, Thursday, July 31.

Together with Peter Anthony and Mary Zimmerman, I've been nominated for an Opus Award by the Open Stage Theater Company in Fort Collins, Colorado for my work in composing and performing Persian Santyr music for "Arabian Nights" last September. The Awards ceremony is on August 17th at the Company's annual meeting and picnic.

I've got new patriotic song lessons posted on www.JamPlay.com. These include: America (My Country 'Tis of Thee), America the Beautiful, The Star-Spangled Banner, Yankee Doodle, Boston Beans (by Jean Ritchie) and i miss america by yours, truly. Samples of these are also available on youtube!

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". (I do try to be the grown-up version of John, however, rather than the ill-tempered, bad-mannered one!) This article is currently on the newstands and you can learn more…Read more
