Spanish Fandango

description:
On this day three years ago, I first got a mountain dulcimer. To celebrate the anniversary, I will post three videos today. Here is "Spanish Fandango," which was originally written in 1860 by Henry Worrall for the parlor guitar tuned in an open G tuning. I learned the song from guitar versions by Norman Blake and Elizabeth Cotton and the dulcimer version by Stephen Seifert available on YouTube and also provided with some variations and tablature at the Dulcimer School.For Stephen Seifert: http://stephenseifert.com/ For the Dulcimer School: http://www.dulcimerschool.com/

Wayne, Mandy, Karen, and Phil, thanks so much for your comments. I appreciate your listening and your encouragement.

Phil, this song is all about patience. Nopart of it is difficult in any sense, but it just takes time to learn.

Thanks, folks. Yes, John, I've always thought this to be a pretty yet unpretentious tune.

Carrie, you pegged it! Three years ago today I got my first mountain dulcimer. But recently I got my sixth. Yikes! And I still want a baritone. I am indeed afflicted.

Congrats on your anniversity Dusty ! Wish it was just three years ago I made my first, I hazard a guess you were not around then! Have always liked this simple, understated tune and you do it proud!
