Amazing Grace played on my dad's dulcimer that he built. This is my first song played traditional noter-drone style. Of course it had to be Amazing Grace - for my dad!
Hi Cindy, Nice job on Amazing Grace. I particularly liked the way you were able to introduce some arpeggio into the noter style. I had never thought of that possibility. Thanks.

Thank you Terry! I have some work to do here - but I am sure have fun with it.
Cindy, it so happens that I have a version of Amazing Grace posted, but it seems to have got mixed up with other stuff ? If you look for my "Shall we Gather at the River" my Amazing Grace follows straight on after !

(would love to know what's happened here, anyone able to help?)
