A hammered dulcimer player (and onlooker) at the welcome center in historic Philadelphia. Keet talked to him for a while, and it turns out he attended a workshop with Karen Ashbrook, whom she and Mamakeet have both met.
Update: Madre de Dios, how could I forget this? Karen played at our wedding!
In my own defense, I really don't remember most of that day.
Day 23: My hammered dulcimer. Maybe one day I'll learn how to play this instead of just 'playing around' with it. I wanted one thanks to the music of Rich Mullins.

那个北京冬日的下午，来自天坛的自然之音
27th September 2014 at Red Lion, Isleworth, Middlesex.
Country: Britain. Style: Russian, English & Irish Folk.
Lineup: Daria Kulesh (v/bodhrán), Kate Rouse (hammered dulcimer), Gary Holbrook (piano accordion), Ben Simon (g).
This band’s origins go back to 2011 when Daria Kulesh met two members of a Ceilidh band Blackwood (Rouse joined them later). About half of their set consisted of songs written by Kulesh or tradition Russian ones (some translated ito English). The other half reflected the other band members’ involvement in the British folk scene (including some traditional Irish tunes).

This is a picture that I knew how to frame, but couldn't quite get what I wanted. The gentleman at the lower left is playing a hammered dulcimer. I was charmed by the idea of a picture of a hammered dulcimer player performing in front of a store called "G. Willikers!" But I couldn't quite frame it to get the cars out of the way. If I'd been a bit more brash I might have asked him to move closer to the door so I could frame the image vertically.

• Jim McKenna is a multi-instrumentalist and composer.
• Members of his family, Daniel McKenna and Ann Callahan, had emigrated to Boston during the Irish Famine (An Gorta Mór) in 1850 (Armagh) and 1852 (Ballygiblin, Cork) respectively. Daniel McKenna and Ann Callahan were married in Boston (Charlestown) on October 1, 1854. Daniel, and his brother Neil, were two of the six founding members of the Ancient Order of Hibernians in Boston (American Society of Hibernians) on March 17, 1857. This organization was formed "for the purpose of rendering assistance to the sick and disabled members of their society, and also of providing for the decent burial of the dead". Jim's great great uncle from Drumkeeran Ireland, Thomas McPartlin, performed traditional music on the banjo in Boston during the late 1800's. Daniel and his brother Neil are both buried at Catholic Mount Auburn Cemetery in Watertown, Massachusetts. Thomas is buried at Holy Cross Cemetery in Malden, Massachusetts. Jim great great aunt, from (Ballygiblin, Cork), Bridget married Daniel Murphy (Galway) in Boston Nov 5, 1876 at Holy Cross Cathedral, Boston.
• Dr. E. Moore Quinn wrote on the subject of the Irish Famine: "...a recently composed pipe lament by Jim McKenna entitled, 'Bridget O‘Donnel: A Victim of Famine'. The latter decries the interlocking set of awful truths that existed behind the journalists' reports and images that were published in the mid-19th century about the Famine.", The Many Voices of Pilgrimages and Reconciliation, Mansfield College, Oxford University, Publisher CABI (October 27, 2017).
