Scottish folk song about 2 star-crossed lovers, played on a dulcimer tuned CGc. Oh, and, yes, it is all the verses (I think.) I don't like the quality of the video. I can't seem to get the camera placed right, either, but here it is, warts & all.
A great recording that shows how well singing and playing the dulcimer go together! Thank you, Rob, well done!
Nicely done...warts and all aren't distracting, it's what you did well that counts.
Very nice Rob, singing and playing excellent.
Well, seems I have slipping on the "thank yous" for this one, so I'll go in reverse order.
John Henry, Like everything else about this instrument, it just takes practice. Of course I played guitar and sang while playing for 20 years before getting a dulcimer.
Mary... Yes, this is memorized. I learned it originally right after I got my 1st dulcimer. Glad you were able to get a "lesson" from it, and I'll try to do better with camera placement next time.
Carrie... Another long one, huh? I thank you.
Kevin.... I appreciate it!
John K... Thank you, Sir...It's a piece I've always enjoyed doing.... if for no other reason than it takes up a good deal of time in a show.
Patty.... I'll be doing a couple of others with vocals really soon, I hope.
Thanks to all of you for staying with me for 7+ minutes. Those ballads could get pretty lengthy, eh?
Will keep watching this Rob, I would love to be able to sing and play at the same time in a better way than I do, "where can I find......" I reckon there are some clues here !!
John
Doing some catching up, been working in the shop most of the day. I really liked this one Rob, well done.
Nice job, Rob! Always a pleasure!
Great Rob!!! I love to hear you sing!!!
Wow, y'all are quick. Thanks Adrian glad you enjoyed it.
Gosh Frank, you're gonna cause my head to swell so I can't get my hat on.
I had forgotten about this old ballad 'til a few weeks ago. I had done it years ago right after I got my 1st dulcimer. I'm glad I re-learned it.
Great performance Rob - you have such amazing talent. I really like the slower paced Scottish/Irish tunes played on the dulcimer.
