Dave I tried that just got the site. The moderators are looking into it. I got a messgae from him on 25may, replied, then nothing !
Hello Dave. I never heard Ian Walker before. Hawks and Eagles is a fiddle tune made popular by Norman Edmonds from the 1930.s. That was the tune I was trying to play. Walker used the melody to build his song on... Very nice. Thanks Bob.
Dave & Dana further thought Have just looked it up on the Web Site called The Session The music & ABC are there , as far as variations - pass. I can just about play Bill Charltons Fancy through twice without any of the variations ( I havent got enogh fingers on the left hand)
Dave, the only Tab i Know is the ones you smoke ( geordie expression for Cigarettes) The short answer is no . I learn everything by ear or sometimes osmosis . I do know it requries the 1 1/2 fret to get the F Natural . Th second & third parts of the tune If thats what they are , I have never mastered . Only thing I can suggest at this time is play it over & over ad infinitum until it sinks in . Sorry no Tab
Hey Dave I want to learn King of the Fairies! Is there tab for it anywhere.
If you have any questions, just holler!
Hello - nice to see someone else on here from the RIGHT hand side of the Big Pond!
Hi Dave , You missed Newcastleton this year . Anyway it rained & was windy and a bit cold. The camp site was a bit soggy . Now I will have to write a blog to explain all that. Nice to see you here, even if we are talking via the States. Keeping well I hope.
Hey Dave, welcome aboard. Glad ya found us.
Hello and welcome to the site. This is a great place to share ideas and listen to music. I hope you enjoy!
Welcome, Dave, to this little corner of dulcimer heaven. Can't wait to hear your version of King of the Fairies. We all enjoy hearing the old tunes. Hope you enjoy it here.

Hello Dave and a welcome to you from the UK/European group within FOTMD, glad you found you way here! 'King of the Fairies' eh ! I have an old tape of Phil's, 'Iron Man', on which he knocks out a very good rendition of that tune !
