Zither Heaven Rock-it Stick, arr. Ben Esh, simplified by me, tuned Cgc instead of Dad, capo 3. A very easy version of this, inspired by the James O for his e...
Thanks Lexie for pulling this one up, I cough every time I try to sing, so I was relieved that I already did it! Now I've met the March challenge.

Thought I would bring this up, sense it is "Sweet by & by" day: Cynthia I love this song played on your strum stick and like that you sang to us. I really enjoy your videos and musical talents.
Thanks for listening Patty. Looking forward to your cardboard turkey addition on Thursday - been playing it so I can play along with you when it comes up. And can't wait to hear that Backyard - interesting technology he uses and, why not?
Thank you, and I can't wait to hear more on your Strumstick. Mine is actually a Rock-it Stick, but McNally doesn't like people calling all of them his brand name. I think I'd be complemented if mine became the standard.
Thank you Ron, Lexie, and Gordon. I heard James do this one and liked it without the dotted rhythms in the chorus and said why not? Lexie you'd get a real kick out of playing on of these too. Gordon, you'd probably crush it in those ham fists you've got. Better stick to your big ol' one! ron, glad to evoke a grandmother memory.
Thanks Mary, you were the inspiration to tune it down to Cgc. I couldn't sing it well, but liked this simple version capo 3. I had never tried tuning this down a step until I saw you do it. Yours is an official McNally Strumstick I believe. I'm calling them sticks, mine is a Rock-it Stick.
Thanks Lexie, I do one takes, warts 'n all to encourage others that they don't have to be perfect to share their joy of music. Sorry about the warts, but this is as good as it gets today.
Thank you JohnH. Funny you asked about that capo - I nearly put it in the notes, being a teacher first I like giving out all the info for others to be able to do it if they want too. It is a uke capo, Musedo MC-3. I would happily send you one for Christmas, as I bought it locally. Since you asked I tried the D'Addario uke capo as well which is more trouble to use but a cleaner sound. amazon.

Thank you Lexie and Gordon again. I was squeaking less back in November. I had fun doing this one.
I can merely repeat what I said back in November, Sweetly sung and sweetly played, Thank you

Beautiful Cynthia!!!

OMG - if we ever get the chance - YOU ARE ON!!!
How about I sing you play? Collaboration, with the cartoon B&w look?
Ummm - if you are singing it - THAT would be done right....
You are too kind.....thank you!
You're so welcome. I want to do Come Thou Fount, just so I can tell everyone to go listen to yours to see it done right.
Cynthia, this was SO sweet and SO beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing

Thanks Cynthia, sweetly played and sweetly sung. I've had occasion to play this song in Church, its sure enough a favorite.
Very nice Cynthia, I am liking hearing the stick dulcimers.
Thanks for playing and singing for us.
