Zen Patty: very nice Dusty do you play by ear or is there tableture for this song?
 

Thanks, @Zen-Patty. I mostly play by ear, but I do arrange tablature to share with students and those who join my monthly dulcimer club.  I have tab for this arrangement.  Send me a Private Message with your email and I'll send it to you.

Thanks for your encouragement, @Davisjames.  I usually don't mind the squeak of fingers sliding on strings; it's a reminder of the tactile activity of playing. I actually enjoy hearing the valves move on old jazz sax solos as well. But in this case, the squeaking seem a bit louder than I would like.

You are probably the only one who notices the string squeaks.I have a Tom Yockie chromatic,the previous owner bought a flat wound guitar "D"string for it.Easy for sliding up and down and noiseless.. too smooth.I like the dirt.Lovely tune and playing.
