Thanks Dusty! You ain't too shabby yerownself (a real word down here)!

I think it fair to say the Keanes are an uber talented couple!

Hey Dusty and thanks. I would so love to take credit for that, but my uber talented husband (and extrodinary tuba player) wrote the moving bass line for the song. It is a very fun song part to play and when we play this song at jams or even together, I find myself going back to it as well. I know what you mean about having it stuck in your head. Have fun at the jam!

Hey guys, it was a long time ago that you posted this, but it has stuck in my head. I started rehearsing the 40 or so dulcimer jam tunes that I listed for a jam I will be hosting later this month, and whenever I played this song I started changing the end of the verse. I couldn't figure out where it was coming from, but then it hit me: Karen's bass! That descending bass line at the end of each verse has stuck in my head and now it seems like an obligatory part of the song.

Karen, you've created an arrangement of this song that is so salient it's now part of my permanent understanding of the song.

Thanks folkfan! It's hard to have anything BUT fun around those two.

I don't know the tune, so I can't really use that to judge it. I'll just have to judge it on the amount I enjoyed it. And so, you all won the blue ribbon. Really fun bounce to it.

JH...I tried!

Hey Karen, be thankful for small mercies, he could have had you all wear shirts the same as his ???

Do I sense an inference???

Thanks Mary, Beth and Louis. It was a fun day. I'm glad you noticed the hats Beth. Someone has to always be different....I'm not gonna call any names hhhmmmm...LOL Cool hat Louis.

Beth and Louis...thank y'all very much! When it comes to the dulcimer, if it ain't fun, we don't mess with it lol! There is SO much fun to be had with this instrument...this is just one little way that worked for us that day. We appreciate y'all checkin' it out (hats and all).

10/12/13 12:10:30AM @john-keane:

Thanks Mary! It was a fun and outstanding day! We always love it when dulcimer friends like CB can come and visit.

10/11/13 08:40:41PM @karen-keane:

Thanks Glynda! We had a bunch of fun doin' this one lol!

01/22/13 07:23:02AM @john-keane:

Thanks Kim! We appreciate you very much. We had a great time (not to mention a bunch of fun) with this little project. This dulcimer thingy is supposed to be about having a little fun, so that's what we did.

01/21/13 07:47:57PM @karen-keane:
Agreed! Another dulcimer is what's good for the soul!

01/21/13 11:03:11AM @john-keane:

It's just a matter of priorities lol!

01/20/13 07:56:46PM @john-keane:

That's what it sounded like to me lol!
