Ripon CC Championship - De Camptown Races on Dulcimer

[oldfolkiepad]

What a great way to do a 'family' video! A fascinating and most enjoyable piece. Your playing of De Camptown Races is a delight ,and perfectly complements the video - it was an inspired choice. I also enjoyed your most interesting and amusing description of making the movie and the history behind the song and the dulcimer. Terrific! 5*.

So cool:0

You have to be proud:)

Was you running beside him to film this and playing the Dulcimer. You have to be pretty fast to run past him to get the footage and film him running by. LOL

5***** for your son

You betcha, when I played this instrument for the first time, it was like a long lost friend! (and yes, quitting is actually on the agenda...) Thank you NAncy :-)

[jayrbee60]

Thank you! yes, I just may take your advice on that!!!

This is great! AJ and I laughed the entire time :)

I'll get the video footage for you next year so you can put another one together. (Lets hope that AJ remembers how to tie his shoes!)

See you this weekend!

Say There

Jay...

Waaaaaaay cool! You've gone through a great ordeal in order to capture this momentous occassion...but now you can sit back and relax and take pride in the fruits of your labor...a top shelf documentary of the day...accompanied by a ditty by the Father of American Music. This was enjoyable and then some.

Pax,

Thank you kindly! Yes, I thought The tune was appropriate seeing that both races are/were 5 miles long. It was a good day, but I was quite sore afterwards. Thank you so much for your encouragement!
