Sleep Tight (again)

Sleep Tight (again)



style or instrument: lap dulcimer & guitar


musician/member name: Robin & Mark


streams: 42



Description:

A different tuning on a different dulcimer from when we put this tune together the first time. Also, I made a few noter & strumming changes in order to eliminate some string noise I didn't care for. Mountain dulcimer tuning: Gggc (the gg is a doubled drone)

@dusty Your prof never heard Mark & I play our sleep-inducing music.  So, at the time, it wasn't an option for either of you.  haha

Robin Thompson:  At this stage of life of my life, I'm not sure whether an "adult beverage" refers to alcohol or to warm milk. grin  
 


Who says you have to choose?  I had a prof in grad school who, when hearing that I was having trouble sleeping in the months leading up to qualifying exams, suggested warm milk and bourbon. 🥛 + martini = zzz

@dusty , we cannot overcome the power of coffee.  smile  

For better or worse, over the past year or so, I have become enamored of the sound of the doubled higher drone with the wound bass drone.  

From me and the guitar player-- thanks for listening!  At this stage of life of my life, I'm not sure whether an "adult beverage" refers to alcohol or to warm milk. grin

Really pretty tune, Robin. And your tuning demonstrates clearly how doubling a drone does not detract from the melody at all.

If I were listening at night with an adult beverage instead of in the morning with a cup of coffee, I might indeed fall asleep.sleepy

@davisjames sun   Jamie, I believe Jack Lawrence said of Doc Watson that he didn't play the same tune the same way once.  haha  

Thanks for listening!

So interesting,the same melody on a different instrument with a different tuning.In the days of long playing albums that would have been something-12 different players,instruments playing versions of the same tune...a bit like "Sally Goodin" in the Fotmd archives?,laugh..

Thanks, @dan !  I fear your comment demonstrates, though, that we did not help you fall asleep.  sun
