Thank you Leila. They are both in my Classic Celtic Collection book which does have a Cd. It has many more wonderful Celtic tunes , Danny Boy, Parting Glass, Rosin The Beau and many more. There are also harmony parts and beg and adv parts on some tunes. You can see it and order from my web sight lindabrockinton.com .
This is so beautiful, Linda! Do you have an arrangement for this to sell/share? I have tab for Water is Wide, but not for Carrickfergus.

Hey Patty... Yes mam I bought the loudest dulcimer I could find and intended to learn every fiddle tune written. I did that for 7 yrs and had a group called The Cotton Picken dulcimer Pickers. We picked and grinned all over the place. Then 3 things happened. First I bought a cd called Autumn in the Valley by Neal Hellman and the wonderful musicians at Gourd music. I loved it so talked to the group and we changed our direction and name to Heartstrings. I also about the same time went into a shop where a girl was fingerpicking the dulcimer and I fell in love with the quiet mellow sound . I started trying to fix fingerpick patterns to all the songs I already knew. Then I took a class in the summer from Barbara Ernst who had a wonderful fingering and chord shape left hand system . I had to change my fingerings and learned the chord shapes which was an eye opener. I finally , after 8 years , could clearly see how this instrument worked. The rest is very obsessive history. For at least 10 yrs I rarely sat down that a dulcimer was not in my lap practicing to smooth out things one measure at a time over and over and over..... I'm not right lol.
Linda, that is special . Very soothing. I have a question for you. When you first started playing a dulcimer did you start with strumming and then move on to finger picking or did you go to finger picking from the start?

Garey, thank you so much I think of them as sister songs one from Ireland and one traditional but both speaking of heartbreaking love and separation . I love the bass walks and beautiful Melodys. Thanks for listening.
This a beautiful arrangement of these tunes and well played. Thanks for sharing it Linda.

Linda, as always, excellent job! Those 2 songs work well together. Which McSpadden are you using in this video, and what tuning?
Milk Chocolatey Goodness. YUM!
