Morningsong with Don Pedi! 🎶 About Don Don Pedi is a Traditional Mountain Musician who started playing the dulcimer in 1968. He shares songs, tunes and stories in a warm, often humorous and always entertaining manner. Don is known for developing a playing style for the fretted mountain dulcimer that can match a fiddle, note for note, while maintaining the rhythms and characteristics of traditional music. Since 1985 Don has championed folk music as an on-air host at NPR affiliate WCQS 88.1 in Asheville, NC. His weekly show “Close to Home” airs on Saturdays, locally from 8:00-10: 00 pm (Eastern Time) and simultaneously streams on the web. http://www.donpedi.com/index.htm 🎶 Watch previous performances and see an upcoming schedule on our website: https://www.folkschool.org/events/mor...
