Rob

Sam, i love the Poetry

This is Lovely !

Rob ... truly an inspiration ..........

The Cluckold

And all the while the keep did steep

In woeful pain a pity

For were th dame a clucked old hen

Or medlin mean arsed bitty

Th minstrel plucked wi knowin nod

An knowed her bodice coloured

Wryly furled agin th green

Of Tate th stable dullard

O sing ye now in kept refrain

To let hear all th ages

Mark ye well sooth an scribe

Her turning of her pages

As kine she meadowd all th court

Let show th queen her favors

Until alas th king spew forth

A vow to grant nae waivers

He unto vaulted chamers crept

And in his hand a dagger

Whence did th laird wi phallic deft

Command th blade to jag er

Then come th blooded balance true

Once tit for tat were given

That this paean would stand in time

As warnin to th livin

awesome sounding Lackey!

I'm GREEN!!!! :) Good catch Rob....if ya see another round ping me!

Lisa... shows what you can do with too much time on your hands and folks on chat saying, "what can be done with 'Cluck Old Hen?'" LOL

Cheryl, that was where I got this one.... buy it now for $135... couldn't pass that up

I'd like to find one myself. I passed one by on ebay not too long ago....shoulda snagged it! Thanks for the info Rob!

Rob, this is so beautiful!

I LOVE the Keith Young instrument. It has become my "go to" dulcimer for playing most things now. It has a mix of the "traditional" and "modern" tones that suit my ear. It's very easy to tune (and stay in tune) and the fretting is easy. It has good volume for a small (at least smaller than some of mine) instrument. I'm really glad I got it; I only wish I had gotten one from him when he repaired my Fred Martin in about 1990/1991.

I third or fourth the Ren sound.....really enjoyed this. How do you like your KY dulcimer?? Has a great sound on this end of things.

Thanks for all the kind comments! I enjoy fooling around with things like this.

thumbs up

Just Outstanding! Enjoyed the old bird and your playing as well. Can't wait to see what's for dessert!

Very creative!!! That's really a cool approach!

Chuckle, now that's some laid back 'ole hen Rob, got a smack of the 'Renaissance' about it, you B B 's cetainly cover some ground of an evening !

(thanks for the comment on 'A Breton Dance', much appreciated)
