Dulcimer Dynasties - A Profile of Kendra Ward!

We were both humbled and honored when David Bennett, a noted writer on the subject of dulcimers and dulcimer history, sent us a copy of the profile he has recently written about Kendra. We were even more excited when David generously gave us permission to publish his piece on our site!

Although Kendra has been active in the dulcimer world since she was just a child, and has been a leading teacher and performer for decades, She has never been profiled in dulcimer publications such as Dulcimer Players News.

Thanks David!
