As I indicated on another video (Blackbird), I was told I do not enunciate lyricson my songs and since the lyrics are pretty important I hope I've discovered a way to share them as PDFs if you are at all interested.

Ken...days of old...folk singing days or the middle ages? :-) I shouldn't joke it never comes out right.

Geekling...I love the "dark" so dark. Makes me very sentimental and maybe "romantic". I read once that romantic meant a sense of sounds, surroundings, smells..everything that connects sentimental feelings. And minor tunes (I guess) really penetrate my core. I think I loved the music first and the dulcimer later became my only instrumental access to it.

Dusty, it's so nice to be on the receiving end of your analysis. You are such an elegant speaker/writer. I love it. thank you!

Janene, you do these types of songs so beautiful. Always look forward to when you post a video. Your singing takes my mind back to days of old.

You have a really unique talent, Janene. Your singing mixes with the dulcimer beautifully, and your fingerpicking achieves a really nice rhythmic quality that sits in between the soft finger style of Linda Brockinton and the guitar-style fingerpicking of Janita Baker. Your approach is truly uniqe. Oh, and supremely enjoyable, too.

John Henry--I'd love to see more people reach for a dulcimer to sing their songs, not just the guitar

John McK--thanks, lady bard is an aspiration

Truly spell binding. Like the minstrels of old. Thanks for sharing.

Have always felt that the dulcimer and the voice fit each other like and old pair of slippers,thank you for sharing !

Val-- :-)

Monica, thanks for listening to my wee songs..

As always beautifully played and sung.

Love everything about this, class.

thanks Bob. I tried it at C# too but twas easier to sing at C as well :-)

very, very nice. Tuning a step lower really gives this tune a mellow sound.

thanks much Lexie

Lovely Janene, it is a joy watching you finger pick and hearing you sing.
