Very nice Cheryl!

Hey thanks Ryan! Glad to see you 'round! Yours was one of the first video's I saw when I found FOTMD!!

Wow, your right hand is moving too fast for my eyes. That sounds great. I might have to study this and learn it for myself. I'd love to hear your guitar version, too, if'n you care to share.

08/02/12 05:39:44PM @robin-thompson:

Cheryl, nicely played! You've got me thinking I'll learn this.

08/01/12 05:38:35PM @rob-n-lackey:

That's great Cheryl. I like the tune. I think they play it up here some, you just need to play it through one more time

Thanks Meg..that's very nice of you. So funny that I also usually call it "you know that chinese sumthin or other tune". It comes up from time to time in jams here and everyone knows the tune even if we don't know the name! :) I asked an old timer once if he knew where the name came from and no one really knew but they made up some really good stories!

Would love to hear you play it on fiddle!!

07/31/12 10:36:59AM @cheryl-johnson:

Thanks ya'll! JH....if I had used my noter it would have been a minute and a half or longer! Heavy thing! Sam...dulcimer playing always makes me smile..plus its a silly tune so that makes me smile more. RM...it is a nice place to live and play.

07/31/12 08:18:18AM @sam:

I have an issue with the camera person ... there was one heck of a smile a fixin' to happen there ........

07/31/12 08:11:53AM @john-henry:

Hmmmm, usually takes me about a minute and a half.....!, then again lol, my noter may weigh more !

Hey - That was fun!!!!!

07/30/12 08:41:56PM @ravenmadd-garcia:

great playing and awesome backyard too Cheryl

07/30/12 08:16:12PM @kevin-messenger:

Wow what great playing. But if you keep that up you are going to wear out your wrist.

07/30/12 08:07:13PM @jim-fawcett:

One more time!!!

07/30/12 05:44:09PM @phil-myers:

Well, I can't say you didn't warn me about liking the fast stuff

Gonna have to bring a fire extinguisher when we finally get together and jam-you go girl!

07/30/12 05:21:30PM @cheryl-johnson:

Thanks Friends! Wayne, yes love the Yeti....not portable and if it falls on your toe it hurts like the dickens (don't ask) :) Sam....u funny bout startin a fire! Patty...love Earl's breakdown....not sure I can go that fast on dulcimer but might be fun to try. Carrie...fretboard felt like I was wading through mud....very humid and sticky as a thunderstorm was heading in. Its cooled down and the humidity is gone now....back to our usual 50-60% in summer.

07/30/12 04:12:45PM @sam:

You'd be handy camping. There is NO doubt in my mind that you could start a fire with two sticks ... maybe one ... amazing ........

07/30/12 04:02:00PM @patty-from-virginia:

I love this That is a catchy tune. I was thinking about Earl's Breakdown Cheryl your playing is fantastic. Thanks for sharing

07/30/12 03:58:20PM @john-keane:

Very nicely done!

07/30/12 03:55:15PM @dan-goad:

Beautiful playing Cheryl. That is one of my favorites.

07/30/12 03:13:08PM @cheryl-johnson:

I know know another reason for noter playing in the mountains in the old days.........fingers stick to the fretboard with humidity!
