@Rev-Wayne-Mcallister - I look forward to seeing the video you & Sharon put together!  Mark & I are tickled that our little movie inspired y'all to learn the song.

Good Morning from Louisville.

I have spent two days now (I'm on Spring Break) playing along with Mark and you and I "BELIEVE" I have "I'm Troubled" under control LOL. Sharon is working on the chords on her Autoharp. We will "Attempt" to download a video in the near future. TKS for sharing your gift(s) - I am truly inspired/motivated/encouraged etc watching the two of you. Blessings. Wayne

Jane, it's a great collection! Surely, there's something on the recording that would appeal to each of the Backyard Buskers. Smile.gif

Just got back and what a treat to hear you both play this song. I'm a big Doc Watson fan so this was extra special to hear your version w/ dulcimer and guitar. Loved it!

You were missed here at FOTMD last week, Kim; glad you're back!6.gif

Thank you for the kind words. I'll also pass them along to the guitar picker/lead singer. :) Sure would be fun to play this and have you join us! I can hear you on fiddle. . . 113.gif 105.gif

Thanks again, friends! We appreciate you all taking the time to listen and comment. We're still open to any suggestions for changes, improvements, etc.

Bobby, you know some of my favorite old-timey singers can be found here at FOTMD. That Watson family recording is a great source.3.gif

Oh so pretty! Love the harmonies. And its great to see that bamboo (which requires constant attention in our yard)being put to good use. Nice dulcimer, there. You really lucked out.

Friends, many thanks from my favorite guitar picker and me! 6.gif

We don't play out much and we're practicing, getting ready to play out in about a month-- out not meaning on our porch. Smile.gif And we sing out even less than we play out . . . I welcome any suggestions for changes, improvements, etc.

Leonard, we paid those birds!Smile.gif Hey, my friend, I've not forgotten about Durang's Hornpipe . I've just never gotten my play with Mark's flatpicking to sound right. . . Maybe someday I'll get it worked out.

EDIT: for Leonard-- It's St. Ann's Reel I've supposedly not forgotten about. I'm losing my mind.Smile.gif

RavenMadd, the guitar is in standard tuning.
