Bob Shank at MoonShadow

MoonShadow 145 Bumblebee Road, McHenry, MD, United States

Bob is a known commodity in the music scene around here. Playing music for as long as he can remember, he is skilled in several instruments and has been a pillar of the bluegrass and Americana community. This Sunday will be absolutely stunning solo showcase of his hammered dulcimer skills. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the hammered dulcimer….. The hammered dulcimer (also called the hammer dulcimer) is a percussion–stringed instrument which consists of strings typically stretched over a trapezoidal resonant sound board. The hammered dulcimer is set before the musician, who in more traditional styles may sit cross-legged on the floor, or in a more modern style may stand or sit at a wooden support with legs. The player holds a small spoon-shaped mallet hammer in each hand to strike the strings. The Graeco-Roman dulcimer (“sweet song”) derives from the Latin dulcis (sweet) and the Greek melos (song). The dulcimer, in which the strings are beaten with small hammers, originated from the psaltery, in which the strings are plucked.

Working as a nurse on the sixth voyage of the Titanic's sister ship, the Britannic, newly refitted as a hospital ship, she happens across an unconscious Mark, now a soldier fighting in World War I.
