Bob Hastings was one of the strongest supporters of the festival.  He attended the 2009 Gathering with his wife Judy and his daughter Laney and died four days later of heart failure.  He is sorely missed in the music community.  The 2010 Gathering was dedicated to Bob's memory and we celebrated his life with a silent candle-light opening of the concert.

MDG&FF Finale Concert 2010



Memphis Dulcimer Gathering & Folk Festival 2009, Second Baptist Church


Quiet Blessing at the opening of the Saturday night concert, 9/26/09

 

I am the deep pools in the moonlight;
Golden sunbeams by day;
I am shelter from the storm;
I am stars and planets cousing through endless skies;
I am the colors of the rainbow;
I am soulmate, love, parent, child,
The wind that blows,
Green hills and trees,
Golden sand and desert.
 
Hear me in the song of the bird,
In the whisper footfall of the hare.
I am every heartbeat,
The cry of the babe,
And the sigh of the old womans as she
     bids a final goodnight.
 
Angels embrace me.
Without me the world is silent and cold;
The wolf in the night and the owl
     on the wing call for me;
The ringing bell and the organ pipe,
Strings, keys, reeds horns;
Pipe and drum;
Thunder and rain;
Summer breeze;
Raging storm.


As winter snow melts into spring blossom;
As pastel flowers turn to summer warmth;
As balmy days drift to crisp golden orange red autumn;
I am on the dark road to the horizon
Of the going out to journey;
In flowing waters from mouth to sea;
In returning to the welcome warmth of home's hearth.
 
I swell in ancient days before the knowing of man,
Before time began,
After time ceases to be;
The beat of the drum,
The beat of your heart.
 
I am in the deepest joy,
And I hold you in sorrow;
From secret place to mountain top,
May you find me when you seek me,
May you feel me with you even when
     you do not look for me.
 
I am the voice within your heart.
I am singer.
I am song.
I am music.

Celtic Blessing

May the blessing of light be on you.  Light without and light within.  May the blessed sunlight shine on you like a great peat fire, So that stranger and friend may come and warm himself at it.  And may light shine out of the two eyes of you, Like a candle set in the window of a house, Bidding the wanderer come in out of the storm.  May the blessing of the rain be on you, May it beat upon your Spirit And wash it fair and clean, And leave there a shining pool where the blue of Heaven shines, And sometimes a star.  May the blessing of the earth be on you, Soft under your feet as you pass along the roads, Soft under you as you lie out on it, tired at the end of day; And may it rest easy over you when, at last, you lie out under it.  May it rest so lightly over you That your soul may be out from under it quickly; Up and off and on its way to God.

Memphis Dulcimer Gathering & Folk Festival 2005, Calvary Episcopal Church

The first Memphis Dulcimer Gathering & Folk Festival was held Sept. 30 & Oct. 1, 2005, at Calvary Episcopal Church in Memphis, TN.  We had a blast! 

 
We had two days filled with workshops, concerts and jam sessions for mountain and hammered dulcimer.  We also had instruction for mandolin, banjo, guitar, autoharp and Celtic harp.  Instructors and performers included Janita Baker, Larkin Kelley Bryant, Larry Conger, Jim Miller, Don Pedi and Rick Thum.  Participants came from as far away as New York, Minnesota, Florida, Missouri and California.
 
It was a truly magical weekend!
