Developed from a English traditional Morris tune, Orange In Bloom, shown to me by John Shaw. Here played noter/drone on a Mahogany ,Cedar, and Rosewood hourglass instrument, which is Mean tone fretted and tuned DGD. ...
Beth, one of the features found in our English Morris dancing is a propensity to aim extra long heavy wooden 'noters' at each others heads, not the place for a lady such as youself, lol.
johnp, you have seen me in person and must know that if I stood on one leg I would surely fall over (good to hear from you)
Val, with the attention that our World Cup Rugby team seem intent on drawing upon themselves, it is imperative that I try to stay relaxed ! (just 'cos he's now a 'royal' is no excuse !)
Dana and John, you both refer to me as 'Beautiful', perhaps a visit to the nearest optician..............?
Thank you all for bothering to listen, I had just 'removed' about 1/16th of an inch from the top of that already 'finished' dulcimer, and considerably enlarged its sound holes, so it was really another test drive for it !

I do love those English traditional tunes! Makes me want to get up and dance. It's great to see more with the noter as well.
Good stuff John Henry.
