JANITA BAKER

 

 

I am sad to report that due to family health issues I an unavailable for workshops or festivals for the time being.  My sincerest thanks to the event organizers who have been so supportive and understanding when I had to cancel or decline an invitation. 

The dulcimer community needs your participation in live workshops; try to find one or two to attend this year and let the event organizers know we all still want to get together to make music in person. If we do not support these festivals they cannot continue.

I miss you all!

--Janita
