Liza Jane- played on Appalachian dulcimer in noter/drone style & guitar

Robin Thompson » Videos » Liza Jane- played on Appalachian dulcimer in noter/drone style & guitar

musician/member name: Music
Duration: 00:00:53
description:
This Appalachian dulcimer was built by the late- A.W. Jeffreys; I played with quill & noter.
Here's one of the Liza Jane tunes floating around. Mark & I played the tune once because the recording was made for a Facebook group where it's requested a tune only be played through once. :)

Thanks, Steve!  

The Facebook TUNE OF THE WEEK group asks a tune be played through just once.  So, we stopped after a single pass.

Val, thank you!  There is a rich dulcimer tradition in Ohio yet it is not as old and well-documented as traditions in Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, and North Carolina.

Very nice Robin, lovely authentic sound to your music. Is there a history of Dulcimer in Ohio?

Again, thank you so much, friends!  

Janene, I bet you take right to using a quill! 

Liza Jane (whichever Liza tune you chose) was in a Tune of the Week challenge on Facebook.  It would be fun to do a Liza thread in Call the Tune if it's not been called already.

Thanks Robin, sounds great.  I think I'll get my son started on that!  We've been looking for a new tune for him.

Robin,  too short and you guys make it look so easy....and I bought some turkey feathers...need to learn more about the quill!  Loved it.

I even love that your video isn't cropped and we get to see how easily you sit down and just start playing!  A brief interlude in your day.

The guitar player keeps me in line-- not an easy task! :)

Thank you for the nice comments, folks!  We're glad you enjoyed this very short video.  We might've made it worse had we played longer. ;)

Great strumming Robin and Mark. Wish it was longer.

Golly, y'all are so nice!  

This Jeffreys dulcimer arrived at my house several days ago but I neither saw it nor played it until yesterday.  I fashioned a strap from 2 boot laces and strummed with a quill-- a quill makes for a very fast plectrum.  

I tuned the instrument to CGG.

Thanks for listening, friends.  Mark and I haven't gotten to play together very much over the past several months; I now realize I took us getting to play together for granted.

Love seeing your Jefferies again, looks very much like mine. Love seeing you strum it, like this song.

I listened before I read your description, and I was like... Whaaaaaat? ending so quickly? Nooooooo!

Sorry, but now you have to do the whole thing over again, with about 4 times through at least Robin...cause this was pure torture!   frowner
