A Skift of Snow

A Skift of Snow

A Skift of Snow



style or instrument: Appalachian dulcimer & guitar


musician/member name: Robin & Mark


streams: 18



Description:

The guitar play is solid here yet I think the mountain dulcimer part can be improved somehow. It'll take some playing around for fun to find where to bring more nuance to the slides and when/where in the tune to strum. Though we've seen no snowflakes this year here in our little corner of the Appalachian foothills, I'm sure we'll see some in the coming months. My mom referred to a dusting of snow as "a skift of snow" and my dad said "a skiff of snow". It seems both pronunciations are accepted usage. :)

@davisjames Quite a few leaves still on trees here and the hills haven't shown much spectacular Autumn color due to very dry weather conditions over the past several months.  Indeed, snow is around the corner-- you'll see it in your neck of the woods before we'll see it here in our little corner of the Appalachian foothills.

Perfect timing!The last 2 days of rain in Niagara brought down many leaves (as always happens) and today was the first day asking,"fall jacket or winter coat?".Snow is just around the corner.
