Back in the Cambridge Massachusetts of 1979 I saw John playing hammer dulcimer on the sidewalk. I thought it was great. I made sure to remember his name.
Saw him at a tiny little music hall in my hometown. There were only about 15 people there, but those 15 people got a show worthy of a much larger crowd.
Lovely to hear John again. I first heard him at a kid's concert at Katoomba Public School in the mid 1990's and loved his kid's songs so much I taught them to my pupils each year till l retired in 2010. Three of the girls got to sing on stage with John at a return visit in 2010 which unfortunately, I was unable to attend. A wonderful song writer and instrumentalist.
Wow-- just heard about this artist on the radio the other day and I instantly was drawn to his music!Just going through youtube clips now. "Kindergarten Wall" is my favorite song of the week. Beautiful and haunting piece, this.
John McCutcheon was on the staff a lot in the early years of the Augusta workshops. This is definitely the same person. I've known John sind the mid-70's. My husband has built several of the dulcimers that he plays.

Got to see him perform this live at a concert in my home town a few years back! Seeing him play in person was just incredible~
A national treasure

Lovely, and great talent. Music for thought and happiness.
Hello Marianne, Yes, I like this artist's music too. Direct and Intense. I like the way he tunes the instrument as part of the song... very nice...
I heard him in concert last night. That tuning sound represents a whale song.
Great sound, nice delay. Awesome musicianship.
Heard this on John McCutcheon's "What It's Like".
I wonder if this is the same John McCutcheon I used to see in Elkins, W.Va. back in the early 70s
Probably, asin ʻ74 I knew a friend from Oak Ridge who grew up with him who also played hammer dulcimer and inspired me to build 2 for a friend and I.
Terry Hill He would have graduated high school in Wisconsin in about 1972. So possible.
I went to one of their dance weeks where he was definitely part of the staff.

Yes, most definitely. I traveled from Boone NC all the way to Big Stone Gap VA to hear a very young John McCutcheon in 74 or 75. Life changing.
Impressive
