Tonight, Monday, May 4, 2009 at 8 PM CST, I interviewed and played the music of mountain dulcimer player and singer Linda Sack. Linda loves to play Old-Time, Old Country, Bluegrass, Celtic, and Classical. She plays baritone and standard. Having studied through the Blair School of Music in Nashville with dulcimer legend and dear friend David Schnaufer for 11 years, she's still in the ensemble he brought together and directed, the Nashville Dulcimer Quartet.
She also plays in an old-time/bluegrass string band, the Corn Pone Stars, based in Nashville, TN. She has played and sung for countless folks awaiting heart transplants and cancer treatments (her favorite audiences) and also on stages throughout this side of the country and in North Ireland. She's been on Nashville Public Radio's Live in Studio C program and Woodsongs Old Time Radio Hour. Other gigs include Nashville's Celebration of Cultures, pubs and cafes, dulcimer festivals, private parties and weddings, and more.
"I love to share the dulcimer with people who have never heard or seen it, and I love entertaining people with songs from the mountains and the South."
