PBS Living in St. Louis: International Zither Gathering 2023

[Andy]

Hey all,

Just sharing here for the folks that don’t frequent the Facebooks. At the start of the 2023 International Zither Gathering, there was a camera crew doing some recording for a PBS episode. Anne Prinz was kind enough to share a link to the video in the Zither Revival group on Facebook - here is a link for anyone who is interested in some clips from the gathering + a short history of Franz Schwarzer in Washington MO: https://fb.watch/kJOGEUU6UG/

Andy - that is great! Thanks for sharing the video link. Every time I see people playing those wonderful instruments, I wish I were about 50 years younger and could actually play the old zither that I've had since I tried to learn back in 2014.

Were you able to attend the Gathering?

Hey Tom!

Hope your doing well and everything is good up in Connecticut. I sure did, came in a little late but made it. I’m the guy in the black shirt unpacking the zither in the beginning of the video. I had a great time getting to meet everyone there, and I was lucky enough to have a lesson with Tomy. Will definitely make the trip again.
