Michael, you mean Shel Silverstein didnt have dulcimer players in mind when he wrote

We got all the friends that money can buy
So we never have to be alone
And we keep gettin’ richer but we can’t get our picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone….

As a dulcimer musician, I don’t have to worry about being on their cover. I wonder if the Rolling Stone cover would have the same result? Playing my mountain dulcimer bores my audience to death. Dulcimers and death should not be in the same sentence. We miss Bear Bryant.

Zither man, Michael

I guess Michael Jordan was one of the few who escaped the “Sports Illustrated” cover jinx. Unless you count that baseball cover on March 14, 1993.
