So lovely John, made it a favorite. You should go into real estate. I think many of us want to join the John Henry Dulcimer Collective. This is great for number one, what do you think would be good for number 2 and 3?Smile.gif

I still love this John Henry, and it got great marks from my wife just now. It's majestic.

Its heard a lot at millitary funerals these days Val, which is way I had the thought that it may not have been to everyone's taste to post it here , but I do not think that anyone has objected ? Yes, I heard Roger play it 'in the flesh' so to speak, he made a far better job of it than I, but as I have remarked before, he seemed to have had at least two extra fingers on each hand !!!

John - I have to agree with everyone else - this is beautifully melancholy and I love it. Flint mentioned about mixolydian tunes being eerily beautiful. I couldn't agree more. :) Thank you for sharing this.

I love your playing, and your choice of tunes. This one really is an excellent choice for the bagpipe tuning.

Bagpipe tuning and Flowers of the Forest go together so well. Thank you for posting this, John.

Strumeila, I am not sure if Ken's remark applies to me, or the tune...........?John

John Henry- this is a perfect example of why I feel some tunes do not sound good with a drone tuned to a fifth, such as DAA or DAd. If you play the same thing tuned CGC rather than the CCC you chose, it would just NOT have the same poignancy at all.I like playing most D tunes and C tunes with tonic drones only.

'eerie beauty'....what a delicious term!

That's melancholy and beautiful, John. Good work on this.It's Mixolydian, too, I believe, which gives it part of it's eerie beauty.
