Overwintering

Description:

A wish for living creatures and plants to overwinter well! The dulcimer player was noodling on the mountain dulcimer while the guitar player was petting the dog the other day. And we managed to get a little tune out of some of the noodling. :) The Jean Ritchie Blue Lion mountain dulcimer is tuned to B drones with the melody string tuned to an A. The guitar is capoed at 2.

@homer-ross So glad you enjoyed the tune! Yes, I have used this tuning before. Our tune "Sweet Yellows and Pinks" comes to mind yet it is a pretty versatile tuning-- we were playing various tunes out of this tuning earlier today.

Very enjoyable. Have you used this tuning before?

Hey, @dan , @nate , and @alex-lubet Thanks for listening, friends-- we're glad you like the little tune! We appreciate your kind comments.

Nate, Mark got our bed of garlic planted last week. It's a great crop to have-- love it especially for soup stock!

Really great Robin. The song feels like an anticipation of winter.
I just planted some garlic cloves in a flower bed on my porch.
Thanks for sharing,

Nate
