A little I have a tune stuck in my head..I couldn’t remember the name of it, then a friend suggested it sounded a bit like Buffalo Gals.

It does sound like "Buffalo Gals", but it also reminds me of the first part of  "Under the Double Eagle",  originally a German marching band tune that many of our great flat-pickers have versions of on Youtube. either way, your version is unique. Maybe you ccan call it "Buffalo Eagle"winky


 


I think you might be right, I married a Buffalo to an Eagle..and came up with a Beaglelo…Beaglelo girls won’t you come out tonight ….all under the double eagle.

Lovely!  And I agree it sounds like a variation of "Buffalo Gals".  

A "Fantasia on Buffalo Gals", if you will.

 

Thanks John! I like that a lot! You have given me an idea for adding a couple more movements.

There are a few notes that are different, but it does sound like Buffalo Gals.

Ken

"The dulcimer sings a sweet song."

 

My wife said the same thing,,,lol.  I don’t think I’ve heard or thought of that tune since I was a child.  Weird how our brain works.  I wrote a song ten years ago and found in one of my notebooks I had written the words as a poem 15 years before that…hmm, I guess some things just stick in our heads.
