This Old Dulcimer Man

Dusty Turtle » Videos » This Old Dulcimer Man

musician/member name: Dusty T
Duration: 00:03:48
description:
I thought I had posted this tune a while back but can't find any evidence of it, so I recorded it anew. Some rhythm and new lyrics added to this children's classic.

I am playing a dulcimer made by Terry McCafferty of cherry and redwood and tuned DAd.

Thanks, @John-W-Mckinstry.  I wrote the words to this a few years ago when my daughter was obliged to play it on the piano. My goal was to show her how to have fun with a song even if it seemed kind of childish.  The rest of the stuff like Wildwood Flower and the bluesy licks evolved slowly since then.  The song never comes out the same way twice!

Thanks so much, @Elvensong.  This is a fun one, but it only works for an audience of dulcimer players.
