Thanks Geekling!! How cow...I would melt!! It's been 70's here in the day and high 40's low 50's at night. Good sleeping weather. Will try to blow some over your way!! :)

Yeah...sorry bout that! :)

This one is my AW Jeffreys from the Goodwill....no kidding. Just got lucky. Must have come from somebody's estate and a relative donated it to the Goodwill. Can't imagine anyone would give away such a dulcimer...but I guess it could happen. It is a lovely sounding dulcimer.....although the sound on this particular video came out crummy. :(

holy cow - how did u manage that price? Now my whole price thing is shot. hahaha. i just assumed a good sounding dulcimer is $300, since mine doesn't sound nearly that good. Couldn't possibly be operator error though - Nah, not a possibility. Haha.

Thanks Mandy!!! Funny! Well in my case...dulcimer 70 buck!

Yee Haw is right!!!

Dulcimer = $300

Wood bench 4 pickin' = $50

Mtn view in a cabin = $150 a night

Cheryl porch pickin' with all of that = PRICELESS

Robin thanks! I will check the microphone settings....I have a yetti mic and I'm using my laptop. I think it does have an auto level setting. I'm so glad you know this....its been driving me nuts that the sound is disrupted when I record outside and I couldn't figure out why. Even if there is just a slight breeze it alters the sound....maddening!

Thanks again...glad you like the version...its all yours!

Hi Cheryl,

That is a great n/d version of Black Mountain Rag

I'm going to definately steal it

Love the playing - love the porch!!!!!!

Robin

PS - Does your camera have auto volume? That can cause recording problems as the wind and changing sounddynamics (like an instrument peaking on a strum) can cause the device to constantly change the recording volume. On some cameras you can turn off the auto volume feature and set the level yourself.

Very nice playing. And what a cute smile at the end!

I hadn't thought of it until i read John Henry's comment, but how do you keep that dulcimer in place? It looks like the head is sticking out way past your leg. Are you a sorceress by any chance?

Great stuff as now to be expected from you Cheryl, but.... how do you keep that dulcimer on your lap, it seems as if the head is too far to the left to recieve support..........? Nosy, ain't I

Nice going Cheryl, way to go!

Spent my Sunday afternoon hiking and missed this til now. What a treat to find it though. Very well played Cheryl. YEHAW back at ya!

Very nice. Especially with those familiar hills/mts./ridges in the background.

Cheryl, another great video!!! I also look forward to hearing you play. We get to see your smiling face on this one I love this Keep them coming!

Uh-huh that's how Black Mountain Rag is sposed to go....right there.....

You bad...you nationwide... : )....

Thanks everyone! Wish the sound would have come out better....This was a really fun tune with the noter....and I think there is even a little room for improvising that could be added here and there like the fiddlers do.

Heather, the weather is soooo pretty now....Fall is here! Hope you find your noter! Wayne...still have a chair for you right here on the porch...in fact enough for all ya'll!! Rob...give it a whirl...bet you'll love it! Thanks Sue, Dana and Brian...appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.

Very nice Cheryl. Great tune, well played. :)

I love black mountain rag and you did great.

Very good, Cheryl. Never thought of trying that one with a noter. You done good with it though.

Phil, your video this morning inspired me to head out to the porch!! Thanks!!! What a glorious day!

Thanks John....I does have a little swing there...I like it! Another one that makes my toes tap!

That's got a nice boogie to it! Nice job!
