Over the past few years I had the honor of connecting with David Leo Schultz, who is the director of Ragamuffin, the movie based on the life of Rich Mullins. The movie premiered January 9th in Wichita, and now they are touring the film across the country.

Rich's life and music was a huge influence on me picking up the hammer dulcimer. To be able to track hammer dulcimer for the soundtrack was wild. I was also able to graft Caleb Cox in on a few scenes playing Irish Pipes. He has been a part of the larger Thin Places Band shows. He's amazing! Also - I leant my old D-25 Dusty Strings hammer dulcimer for the film to use as prop. You'll notice it with the pirate peg leg stand.

When I got my dulcimer back, David the director said they had broken my set of hammer sticks, so Rich's brother Dave gave me a pair of Rich's hammers. Crazy...I'm good with the swap.
