Maybe the second song I learned to play, after Pretty Saro. Sang it in the early 1960s in an old-time trio with Pat Alger and Henry Williams.Henry made a doctor, Pat wrote songs for Garth Brooks and made a couple of CDs for Sugar Hill, and I'm getting up after I post this to clean poop out of the chicken brooder. ;)Played on a 1980 Musical Traditions dulcimer passed to me through my sister-in-law's family.Tuning is DAcc
You play so well" I'm also trying to get smoother with the Noter and have been working on this song and Pretty Saro.
Thanks, John Henry and Robin.John Henry, this dulcimer sounds pretty good for something that more or less washed ashore by chance. It has a quiet, dark, sweet sound. It belonged to a fellow in my sister-in-law's family who lived in Henderson North Carolina and who loved old-time music. After he died, it hung on a wall in humid coastal Carolina for ten years, but it's in very good shape for all that.Robin, actually I love working with baby chicks. The world is all new to them and they are sweet and flustery. I moved the latest cohort into the big brooder this afternoon.
Hey, Flint-- getting, uh, dirt under the fingernails is good for the soul!
I still can't make my fingers pick like you do Flint; great rendition,love the speed and really would like to try the dulcimer, you let me use it for a while and I'll help with the chicken poop........................................LOL. Thanks for the info the other day.John
