Lord Ullan's Daughter

Rob N Lackey » Videos » Lord Ullan's Daughter

musician/member name:
Duration: 00:05:50
description:
Old ballad written or collected by Thomas Campbell. Played on a Folkcraft cherry teardrop dulcimer tuned DAAd. After talking about it some on another thread, I decided to try and remember how I used to do based on Judy Mayhan's recording on "Folksongs of Old Eire."

Helen, I'm sure you can strum like that. It just takes a little practice. Oh and thank you for the kind comment on my voice.

Rob, you have a nice voice and it's balanced out well with the dulcimer here. Very nice!

Karen, Marc, et al... Thank you very much for the comments. I've loved that song from the 1st time I heard it. In fact, back in the late 80's I found a very old copy of Thomas Campbell's book from which I copied the lyrics surreptitiously in the used book store which had it exorbitantly priced. LOL Marc, I try to keep the dulcimer "behind" the vocals. Glad I accomplished it!

Lisa, I thank you for your kind comment. I learned a long time ago that the song is what's important. Too many wannabe rock and/or country guitarists/steel guitarists and bluegrass banjo players think it's all about them. If you can't enhance the song or provide a suitable background, then lay out! At least that's MHO and one I've tried to go by whatever genre or instrument I'm playing.

Those ballads do tell a story. Another great performance Rob41.gif . I think you need to do something about that video camera. The mic is still doing the pops.

I just love this, Rob. Nicely done. You have the perfect voice for these old ballads, and I like your strumming technique that supports it without overwhelming the story.
