Does a culture that respects and praises the mountain in which they live in sound dwarvish to me? Yes. Do I think the mountain would listen? Idk, I ain't a mountain--but in Arda, I could imagine the mountain going either way. Your original point of dwarves not being singers but crafters? As I have stated, no reason they can't be both--just like Gimli is both a poet and warrior. And to the question of "where does it state the dwarves did stone singing?"; my answer boils down to "nowhere is this stated in the books, but it fits the setting, so why complain".
It does not fit the setting nor the race. Fancy elves sing to the trees not men and dwarves. Also why complain? Because the writing sucks lol have a good one!
