What People Are Saying About
"Of Things To Come..."

"It is soothing enough to put me to sleep at night and very nice to wake up to.  It's very relaxing.  It reminds me of rain touching the ground.  Great for yoga.  Soothing yet with high spirits."
Sara Anne (age 10), North Carolina

"Really enjoyed listening to cuts from your new CD!!  I totally enjoyed the 'solo' sound of the HD - not many players record this way and I appreciate being able to hear the dulcimer!  ...it sounds great!"
Linda G. Thomas, Hammered Dulcimer Player/Instructor/Recording Artist, Missouri

"If you've been looking for a 'hammered dulcimer only' CD, take a look at Rick Davis' new release, Of Things To Come.  The collection includes familiar and unusual tunes from Old Time and Celtic traditions, as well as some fascinating originals.  There are reels and jigs, airs and waltzes, and a fabulous three-two hornpipe in four parts -- all recorded up close, giving the listener the best seat in a cozy venue.  Most of the arrangements are solo performances, while a handful include additional dulcimer parts; several pieces make excellent use of the damper pedal.  Rick's performance is creative, solidly rhythmic, with articulate, thoughtful ornamentation rooted in his percussion background."
Marcy Prochaska, Hammered Dulcimer Player/Instructor/Recording Artist, New York

"It is absolutely wonderful!  I now have it stationed in my car......sorry WCPE, have found something even more relaxing and energizing to replace you!  It is truly beautiful... And your original compositions are great, by the way...."
Alice S., North Carolina

"But one of the great, shining things about my trips....has been your CD.  WOW....'you done good!!!'  It's really wonderful.  Takes a lot of guts to do it solo too.  There's no fixing in the mixing.  It's well played and beautifully captured.  Now I hope to hear more and even more of your own compositions.  It's splendid work, Rick."
Bill Troxler, Hammered Dulcimer Player/Recording Artist, Maryland

"Been listening to Rick's CDs in the egg room in the afternoon while I clean eggs.  Keeps me moving around so I don't freeze!  Great CD and great music!"
Linda G., North Carolina

"I love your CD!  I've been listening to it in the car..., and it is really nice.  I especially like the tunes you wrote yourself."
Emily S., North Carolina

"Last December I bought your CD to give to my students.  I've received wonderful comments from them.  They love your playing and the tunes you chose, since they can play along with several of them.  Your Old Joe's Old Hen gets the most comments."
Bettie S., Hammered Dulcimer Player/Instructor, Delaware

"I've been listening to your cd and have been enjoying it.  Your playing reminds me of why I enjoy hearing a hammered dulcimer.  Great job!"
Tom Fisch, Singer/Songwriter/Recording Artist, North Carolina
