Medley #11 - Chet Parker

Chet Parker (August, 1891–1975) was a hammered dulcimer player from Michigan.
Chet Parker was born the son of a blacksmith. His first instruments were the snare drum and the fife. He also learned to play the fiddle (his father was a fiddler) and to read music[1]. He was introduced to the hammered dulcimer by a friend, who loaned him one, in 1900. Chet made his own dulcimer in 1904, and continued to play it the rest of his life.
