Thanks for listening, Kristi. Yes, everything I learn at the Dulcimer School I post there for feedback. In fact, it's because of Stephen's comments on my version of "Ashokan Farewell" that I've been working more on dynamics, playing certain sections softer or louder and varying tempo as well.

Thanks, Patty. Since I'm playing solo and not singing, I get to play a little with the rhythm and even the melody a little bit.

Carrie, Cheryl, Marion and Karen, thanks so much for listening. I've been trying to work on varying the dynamics more, something that comes more naturally to me fingerpicking than working with a flatpick. This was a kind of experiment. Thanks for the encouragement!

Great job Dusty. Great minds think alike. I have been working on a version of this as well. Great job!
