Rhonda, here is a link to my YouTube Channel where I post all of the videos that I post here, plus more...the stuff that isn't in public domain. You'll find Pretty Saro there as well.

Janene's YouTube Channel hope you like Saro. I'm enjoying trying some of these old time songs. Imost frequentlydo fingerpicking style Irish songs.

Alan, thanks for taking a listen! Mary, I played a lot of years before it occurred to me to even sing myself. I don't perform at all and don't have the songs memorized, I make a simple arrangement, give it a go, and when I make it through once on my webcam, "cut, print, move on." It's too painful to see myself squinting at a binder slogging thru a song so the focus on the dulcimer with the camera is terrific for me. I'm thinking you actually do some performing. I think hearing those of us that are singing along, more will follow. It sure has added an additional element of interest to me but I consider myself a dulcimer player who sings now and again, rather than a singer. I'm always most interested in working out an arrangement.

great great just great thank you for posting this video

thanks Keltia, appreciate your listening

thanks Val.

No rough edges there Jan,exceptional playing and singing.

Thanks Robin, I'm trying learn more about creating that old time drone-y sound. I've even purchased some turkey quills

thanks Ken as well, I'm a fingerpickerwho is learning more about strumming. Gail, thanks for listening, I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

That was very nice. I like your dulcimer playing and you have a beautiful voice.

Thanks Mandy, and thanks Geekling, appreciate your giving my "stuff" a listen.

Very nice Janene.

Nila, John K. and Kate, thanks so much for listening and taking a moment to comment. That's encouraging.

Janene...that was absolutely wonderful.

Janene, I do not think you can strum with any feeling at all if you are overly self aware. We all have to think about strumming when we first start, but you can't begin to express yourself until it just happens, allowing you to concentrate on other aspects of playing or singing. Those of us who started on the guitar have an advantage in that regard, I think.

Dusty, thanks for your comments.

My strumming is purely intuitive.....I think it comes from whatever version of the song I listen to, in this case...fiddle versions. I'm not terribly self-aware, so I appreciateyour observations.

Pretty playing. Pretty singing. Pretty song.

I really like your right hand on this song. With no aggressive strumming at all you manage a rhythm that keeps things moving in between melody notes. Really nice work.

Thanks John P and Brian G for listening and I'm closely following the Kate Rusby discussions and women singers talked about there...thanks

Beautifully done Janene, that's the full package right there
