GODC members Lana and later Georgia, Mary Lawrence, Marsha and Barbara S. headed over to Two Rivers Mansion in Nashville to perform for their Christmas Open House. The day was lovely as was the music and the performers!
Two Rivers Christmas Special
I hope you enjoy these scenes from our second 2019 Christmas performance at our annual visit to Two Rivers Mansion in Nashville. This 1859 Italianate Mansion was built by David McGavock for his bride, but it’s also a perfect performance site for dulcimer players. For more information, click here: Two Rivers Mansion.
We love playing at Two Rivers: it’s one of Nashville’s many beautiful locations all year round, but Christmas is the best for us. We met two especially wonderful people in the audience: Amanda, who sings beautifully, and Maggie, who wants to learn to play her banjammer. We hope to see you, Amanda and Maggie, at our January monthly meeting; we’d love to have you join us! We welcome players of all instruments, no matter the skill level.

Bottom right: more friends—The Dixie Dulcimers from Mt. Juliet—performing “Joy to the World”. In case you’re new to the dulcimers, you’ll notice two types of dulcimers in the clip: most are playing the Mountain (or Appalachian) Dulcimer; but Gloria, toward the left side of the room is playing the Hammered Dulcimer. If you live in or near Nashville and would like more information on joining the Grand Old Dulcimer Club and/or one of our satellite Clubs, click here: Nashville Local Dulcimer Clubs.
