Dulcimerica 341 - "Wild Blue Yonder"

 


A very special "Dulcimerica"! Bing visits Jonathan Timlin, who is the sole Diamond Level patron on his Patreon site. Part of Jon's reward incentive package is a home-cooked meal and a private house concert for friends and family. On this particular day, Jon also organized a Hangar Jam for attendees and a flight in his 1947 Taylorcraft for Bing, along with lots of drone flying. Plenty of music in this episode, including "Spotted Pony", "John Stinson's #2", "Boatman" and an extended post-concert medley by Bing featuring "The Old Folks At Home", "Norwegian Wood", "O Holy Night", "Hallelujah", "Planxty Fanny Power" and "Rocky Top."
