Thanks for listening Don and Dusty!
Yes, Rick Scott has tons of songs for children. We spoke to him in 2015 for the podcast. If you'd like to know more about Rick, here's our episode about him called Rick Scott - Canada's Premier Dulcimer Player https://dulcimuse.com/podcast/resource/006.html
Patricia, I look forward to the new episode (have to finish some work before I can indulge!).
People in the States don't know Rick Scott too well, but I met him a few years ago. A truly unique player with a vast store of cool kids tunes. He shared one tune (I wish I could remember it) that was in a strange tuning. When I asked him about the tuning he explained that he had an old dulcimer with friction tuners that would often slip. But sometimes he kept playing rather than retuning and discovered some interesting tunings that way. What a character!
