I once possessed a long playing record album by Woody Guthrie and his sidekick Cisco Houston.Cisco sang this song with just a simple guitar background.I've forgotten a lot of other things,laugh,but not this song.
Thanks,Robin.I neglected to say that the tuning I used was Aaa, on a folkroots dulcimer strung for Dad with a deep body and long scale(28 inches)..I guess I've turned into a baritone without changing the strings.I like the "wobbly" nature of the wound D string tuned down to A ...
Really love the low sound of the dulcimer. The tuning and melody sound almost weary, and it fits the performance perfectly.
I'm a big fan of the Aaa tuning and, usually, have one dulcimer in that tuning.
