 y D's!  As distinctive a performer as he is a writer\, David Massengill ac
 companies himself mainly on the Appalachian dulcimer\, which he slings ove
 r his shoulder like an electric guitar. The sound of the dulcimer has an i
 ntimate\, detailed quality that complements the easy graciousness of Masse
 ngill's stage presence. He has achieved a virtuousity on the traditional i
 nstrument that enables him to wring from its few strings music of a comple
 xity and richness far beyond anything it was ever meant to produce\, drawi
 ng the listener in to his lyrical imagery and the close-up focus on human 
 foibles and experience that is the substance of his best songs. Jesus esca
 pes from a mental hospital\, history's greatest villains gather for a dinn
 er party\, a New York restaurant kitchen crew saves an illegal alien cook 
 from the immigration man\, a young woman and a bandit fall in love as he r
 obs her &hellip\; these are just some of the vividly imagined scenes and c
 haracters with which David Massengill captivates audiences wherever he per
 forms. Massengill's songs are rich with insight and poetic imagery\, they'
 re upbeat and engaging but full of subtle complexities\; this Appalachian 
 dulcimer player with the soft-edged vocal style and offhand stage presence
  is acknowledged to be one of America's finest songwriters.\n\nStart time:
