DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Event Name: David Massengill=0D=0AEvent Url: http://www.artsboston.org/event/detail/53409=0D=0AEvent Date Begin: 2009-12-12=0D=0AEvent Date End: 2009-12-12=0D=0A=0D=0A'Basically, I tell true stories about friends and family,' he says. 'Basically true . . . or,' he adds after a pause and a smile, 'stories I made up about friends and family.'  As distinctive a performer as he is a writer, David Massengill accompanies himself mainly on the Appalachian dulcimer, which he slings over his shoulder like an electric guitar. The sound of the dulcimer has an intimate, detailed quality that complements the easy graciousness of Massengill's stage presence. He has achieved a virtuosity on the traditional instrument that enables him to wring from its few strings music of a complexity and richness far beyond anything it was ever meant to produce, drawing 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.=0D=0A=0D=0AStart time:7:30pm
