[gtrzn1]

I imagine this sounds like a conversation with God

[fpmusic]

@gtrzn1 one way? ;)

[gtrzn1]

@fpmusic Perhaps not but definitely heartfelt

[krose90]

What tuning would you suppose would work best to play this tune on a Mountain Dulcimer???

[krose90]

AA A D Doesn't quite work, even though I believe this tune is in the key of A. I'm just a beginner with the dulcimer, but it seems pretty easy. I also play guitar.

[PastryMagician420]

Breathtaking.

[philfollower]

Sounds a lot like CSNY's "Guinevere" -- same tuning, for sure.

[LuShanMing]

Beautiful, very inspiring. Has Tony made any tablatures available for it? I'd like to try to learn it ...

[mcmanustony]

@LuShanMing

TAB is available with the DVD.

[guitar2adam]

very smooth playing. love it

[banjoleper]

Orkney Tuning, very useful. CGDGCD. that's what he's using.

[66tricky]

I tried ORKNEY tuning. Broke my high E string long before it got to Y. :-P

[Pagra50]

Very Nice...Children of Ulster.

I`ve seen the lyric to this (hornpipe?). It is another illustration of what a close relationship there is between the West of Scotland and Northern Ireland.

[chickenlampbrent]

@Pagra50 That would be because those western Scots were Ersemen once.

[geeflat]

Thanks. I've been listening to this for 20 years. Never seen the fingering before. I had tried to figure it out myself a few years ago but the tuning got the better of me and I made a mess of it.

[geeflat]

Did I say 20 years? I meant 10 (at my age, these decades start to blur).

[petermillerguitar]

Excellent playing!

I've heard quite allot about Tony.

[Qpidon]

I adore this player. I love it.

[ob1ob123]
