Ken, just for clarification, that photo is of me ! Our loyal leader has the memory and the ability to be able to resurrect 'that object which suits !' every time. Thanks a bunch Strumelia !!!
JH, sorry for the "drunken English sailor" thing. I really meant noble and outstanding in conduct brave and true English explorers. I grew up in the flat land of North Dakota. In the upper central part are the Turtle Mountains. What they really should be called is "the slightly higher than the surrounding land hills".
Mount Blowhard is aptly named..............not a tree on it and at the end of a long valley that winter winds howl up (well howl by our standards.....again, nothing like US and Europe..........but we've got a big rock in the middle of us, that counts for something doesn't it
Was it drunken English sailors that named those mountains near you? When you are "tipsy" anything can look pretty high.

I like that Ken...wish I lived near it. Locally we have Mt Disappointment, Mt Buninyong and Mt Blowhard (seriously ). Mind u, what we call a mountain in Oz is barely a pimple compared to the rest of the world. I think settlers figured if a hill had any sort of view then they would call it a mountain. Seeing a real mountain is on my bucket list.
Helen, your creative juices are a'flowing. Nice tune. How's about an Aussie name like "Dawn Over Mt.Warning".

Thanks so much Patty. It beats me where they are coming from. I just put it down to the ease and beauty of the dulcimer.
Thank you so much Tommy.
Maybe............thanks for listening John P.
JH... so that is you, eh? I'm sure there is an interesting story behind that photograph.
Love the range of stuff you take on Helen
John Fahey next is it ?

Apology accepted Mr Backer, lol

Lisa, what a great photo. Only thing missing is bird on the shoulder. I'm sure Helen would have lent her feathered friend for the picture.

Thanks for sharing with us. I enjoy using the Capo (sometimes). Keep up the good work.

Helen, that's a sweet mellow tune. You've been coming up with some good ones. I wish I could do that.
