An Irish carol relating to the Nativity,reputedly dating from the 12th c, here played noter/drone on an all cherry teardrop meantone fretted dulcimer, strung 0.022 wound, 0.012 &0.012 plain steel, tuned Bbb.
I'm not sure how I missed this video when you first posted it, but I love it! My apologies for being nearly two years late to the party, but now that I've heard you play it, I'll be pulling this one up again closer to the holidays. Beautifully done.
Rick, I remember that feeling, the Autumn term seemed to last forever ! Yes, I have got used to playing 'all down there' now, it seems helpful to folk trying to follow what I do ?
Semester's over--time to catch up on some John Henry videos ! Great tune, JH--goes on right to the Dulcimer Christmas playlist. Great camera angle, too!
Stanley, and Lexie, really appreciate you watching and making comment ! Proficient musician I ain't but I do love sharing what I do, 'cos that's the way I learnt, listening to others !
