http://www.incredibow.com/ These look to be a good value for the money. They are inexpensive bows that require little care and handle well. The hair that they use is synthetic and seems to work ok. It would be an excellent second bow and a good one to use out of doors and in humid weather where horsehair stretches so much.



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPgvZVE1hxM  In a bit of new year cleaning up I found a video camera with an attachment for the computer…I forgot I had it…anyway I was curious how hard it was to post to you tube…and the answer is not too hard davsum@alltel.net

 I made a video of me playing a three instrument arrangement of the tune called Pisgah and posted it to You Tube. It features dulcimer, bowed dulcimer, and djembe drum.

The video has scenes from Mount Pisgah(Nebo) in the country of Jordan which was the site where Moses viewed the Promised land before he died.

I give a little of the hymn history of the song and its inclusion in Sacred Harp books

and use the words of Charles Wesley as one of the hymn lyrics that was set to this tune.

The words of
"Let This Feeble Body Fail" are superimposed on top of a sunset from Mt Nebo/Pisgah
