Thanks Steve! It's a fun tune, but the 1+ fret really opens it up to more variation and exploration. So glad that you enjoyed!

Thanks Guy...I'll try to keep it that way! Thanks David! Much appreciated!

Thanks Gail and Peter! One thing that I try to tell people is that this instrument is only limited by the amount of fun that we are willing to have with it. I just enjoy trying things just to see what will happen...sometimes good, sometimes bad, but always fun.

A nice variation, John - made me smile!

This is great! You are so talented and creative.

Thanks Ken! Variety is the spice of life!

John, that was really slick! I love the "walking" intro and then... off you go!

Thanks Marion!

Patty, I play in DAA...just haven't recorded anything in DAA recently. I started in DAA, but found after a few months that DAD was more to my liking in general (it just makes more sense to me). I would encourage all players to experiment with various tunings because there's some really neat stuff out there in ALL tunings.

Does this mean DAA is on the horizon?

Thanks BG! I appreciate that very much! We need to see if we can hook up again this summer.

Very nice JK! Keep experimenting - I like the results! :)

Thanks Helen! I was kind of doing the same thing and just started messin' with it. Please take anything that you can use.

Karen, Randy, Steph,and Rob...thank y'all! I was just messin' with some different stuff here and there and ol' Liza ended up being the tune that I chose. The noter is really fun. I get accused of not playing with it, but I actually have a collection of noters and get a kick out of using them. It's just fun to approach things differently sometimes...whether it be the strum pattern, picking pattern, two strings instead of one, bass string, 1+ fret, or whatever...it's about fun. Each one of y'all mentioned in this post knows how the dulcimer the dulcimer has helped me to recover from burnout on other instruments and I appreciate the kind words very much!

Like this JK!...in particular the off beat run thru there.....

Way to go, John. I think you were trying to outrun the hog on your shirt there. That was really good!

Thanks Lisa! Much appreciated!
