Just taking another listen, Dusty. Your Black Mountain Rag and Spotted Pony are still my two favorites.

Great stuff! I'm a big fan of Bing and his videos too. (I was once in the process of sending my passengers back in the terminal due to a weather delay when I noticed that Bing was on the plane. We spent an hour or so jamming in the terminal until it was time to go again).I've just figured out how to get that over-the-shoulder camera angle at home. I'm going to take the bulb socket and shade off an old clip-on lamp and attach a tripod shoe on the remaining neck. This gadget will enable me to clip the camera to my fireplace mantle, looking down. Between a dulcimer convention this weekend and that pesky job, I won't be home until the 31st to give it a try. (I haven't forgotten about Steve's blues lesson, I just needed to figure out how to get the shot first).Steve, don't forget the 8.5 to go with the 1.5 while you are in the shop. I had a friend who builds dulcimers help me to install mine. Only took us 10 minutes, and we didn't even have to take the strings all the way off.

Steve, I learned each of those songsfrom Bing'sDulcimerica videos on YouTube. They may not all be official lessons, but Bing is great about using camera angles that allow you to clearly see his fingering on the fretboard. And those were the first songs I ever learned on the dulcimer! If I ever meet Bing in person I'll have to buy him a pint or two. And more recently I've been working on his videos on playing blues and using the 1-1/2 fret.

Thanks, Hunter; I appreciate your encouragement. Without Bing's videos, I would not have known how to get started.

Thanks so much, Andy. I was a bit nervous posting my first video, but I appreciate the support I've received.

Thanks, Robin. It's amazing how much you can learn just from watching others play on video.
