I learned White Cockade from a record by banjo player Stephen Wade.A white cockade is a flower and was associated with Bonnie Prince Charlie somehow or the other. John Morgan (Tin Ear) knows the whole story.Chromatic dulcimer tuned DGBd key of G.
Thx Bobby. A fellow by the name of Dale London, here in Lincoln NE., made this dulcimer for me back in 1993. He made a few dulcimers and lot of guitars and banjos. He was the local luthier genius here. He had a lot of interests and was self educated to a high degree on many subjects. I liked to visit his shop occasionally b/c he was so interesting. But sometimes I bypassed it b/c he was so long winded...I knew I was gonna be there for over an hour! He died about 7 or 8 years ago and everyone in these parts misses him and talks about him. I am so fortunate to have his dulcimer.
Jacobite Troops had no formal uniform. The white cockade on a blue bonnet became their emblem. It is said to have originated when Bonnie Prince Charlie picked a wild rose and pinned it to his hat. I love the song about the White Cockade.
This is so nice Randy
Thx for listening Ken & Robin. "Relaxed & easy" is about the best compliment I ever received Ken....f'real.
Pretty, Randy. I guess you need all those frets for this tune.
That is simply beautiful. You make it sound relaxed and easy. Just wow!
