Russ Rentler Hammer Dulcimer

We're to make a joyful noise to the Lord. Do you think about playing with Rich Mullins before our Lord someday? Maybe you could play dueling dulcimers with his brother, David, someday? Just a thought. Thanks, Russ! It's beautiful, a little haunting, (maybe because it reminds me of Rich) and joyful all together.

thanks for posting this. I started playing HD before I heard of him but he definitely was an inspiration!
I wrote this tune for a "dedication service" for a irish kid in my old charismatic church. in true charismatic fashion, the tune was accompanied by a choreographed group of worship dance team members dressed in kilts!
It was written about two months after my first wife died late at night in 1994.
