@mommarox2 Thank you so much! Big Brother can't get you when songs are in the public domain... lol Its a pleasure to meet you too! I appreciate what you do for everyone - So Cool!!!
@reliablebow Thanks Michael! I see you have a couple new ones up too! I'll be a visiting soon! Yeah, OSHA, uff da! They sure are expensive consultants. I'd recommend some one else!
Thanks John. I do use the everythingdulcimer site and found a couple of arrangements. I started working on one in DAA. Not quite as sophisticated as the version you have here but it's coming along.
@rod1148 I'm not too familiar with the DAA tuning as my strings are too thin to tune my melodies that low. But if you want me to try and tab what I do, let me know and I will work on it. thanks so much for your kind comments!
I like this song. What tuning are you using? DAA or DAD or other? I'd like to learn this. Do you have the tab or is it your own arrangement? Very well done.
@rod1148 I believe I'm in DAD, but it might be step lower in CGC. It is my own arrangment, but I based off tabs from "everythingdulcimer" website. Let me know if you need help finding their very informative site. They have a lot of free tabs. And thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment!
Chris... that means a lot to me. Thank you. This is a beautiful song and so many beautiful renditions, I thank you for your overly kind comment - really!
HEy John, back for another lsiten. love to listen to this .
most i like to listen to this one when i have one, lol. sorry. have freetime tomorrow, so i had my fridge full of schnaps:) thanks again for this great 2.55 my friend.
be shure i come back and back to this one, love it! Cheers, my friend, CHristopher
I have always said I do sound much better when you're drunk. I have also heard people say I should sing tenor (ten or twelve miles away) lol Thanks Dan, it sure would be fun to meet up in a tavern and sing some songs together. But I am sure I would get commode huggin' drunk!
Thanks Pete, Over on this side of the pond, they are the federal "Occupational Safey and Health Administration. They come to your facilities and look for safety issues and rifle through your paperwork. A real hassle sometimes.
John,I enjoyed this! It's a great mood that you set with the instrument.I love your sound with this tune.The phone buzz was in tune with the song.Sometimes mistakes add something. thanks my friend,take care,winston
uggghh, I'm all to familiar with OSHA. In another life I did the safety training at a small trucking company. I took the position quite seriously. In a couple factories we had OSHA inspections. but the inspectors aren't there to make the workplace safer, they're there to find stuff to write up. And they work without the time constraints the rest of us do. So it's put your work on hold and cater to the government. what a racket, hope you got to relax after all that.
lol... That's hitting the nail smack on the head. I feel sorry for the office personnel who have to put all the crap back away that I amde them dig out. and really... Who really looks at an MSDS in a sawmill - except the feds. I am certainly relaxin' now though, although a bit uptight - I'm out of gin and getting dangerously low on whiskey!
did you get a cell number from the inspector's ? I dare you to call them and explain the situation, tell them you need some Old Grandad for the safety and health of your occupation and well-being.
well, I figure it's about time those fuckers do something productive, even if it is just a whiskey run. might as well have 'em grab you a pizza while they're at it.
Thanks Archie and I agree... but with the qualification that it may be cheaper to suck up to them... and being the manager I sometimes have to bite my tongue. This time last year I was playing music all day everyday and that just don't pay the bills.
Yeah OSHA, they can cast a shadow over a bright day, but their intentions are in the right spot. I have the same goal as them, (reducing injuries) but they have a much more effective incentive program than I do! I took Monday off, but certainly got a full weeks work in this week. Now I can relax for a day or two! Thanks John!
There are many versions of this song, with different words and different tunes even - but though I know it by the title "Little Sparrow", yours is the version I know and love, and you play it beautifully, John. Your treatment of it is one of the best I've heard, and your dulcimer is the perfect instrument for such a tender rendition. By the way, the phone almost sounds intentional - a bit like a didgeridoo, I think!
Yes, I should have put "Little Sparrow" in the "more info" part of the video and I also skipped another verse that I know, but keeping with the theme is why I played and instrumental verse. This is such a lovely and heart felt song, I fell in love with it the first time I heard it. And... now that you mention it, yeah, i guess it was kind of a didgeridoo sound too it... I should have used that! Thanks Paddy!
This is a SPLENDID song that I wanted to record as my next video. You just anticipated me with this awesome rendition. I fear I won't upload my version: yours is too perfect. THANKS, truly. This is perfectly beautiful. Un abbraccio, ciao, Marco.
OH please do!!! I would love to hear your arrangement. I know your guitar style would compliment this song greatly! I am anxiously awaiting - Thank you so much!
very nice! I was listening for a -ringing- phone, then I thought that was some sort of low grunting (OSHA makes us do that a lot) but then I remembered phones don't ring anymore now they rumble. Is it me or is it sort of in tune?
Thank you so much Jane, you should keep your eye open for one of these doohickeys! They are fun! I am nearly ready to start my weekend, you have a great one too!
Thank you Damion, there are SO many nice versions of this song, I thought I'd snap people back to reality... lol I love the simplicity of the open tuning on this - if one knows the melody, one can pretty much play it.
Ahhh yes - but be careful - for if you get one pregnant, 115 pounds of sugar, spice and everything nice can turn in to 160 pounds of pure bitching power!
Hey John, its really great to listen to ya bro. really an awesome tune you made. love to listen to you. never heard this song before, love the sound and the lyrics .
really relaxing man, love this instrument, you played it fantastic. Cheers my friend, my hollidays starts right now! :) :)))
i have started 1 hour before John , so i think my holidays are over tomorrow. love that you play these songs. ya are the best, i just drink a Jamson in your honour bro!
Your method of relaxation is in turn,a treasured gift for we the audience. This listening experience is certainly a more effective manner of lowering the level of stress one may have had to go through during their daily activities. The no frills and acoustically authentic approach to both your singing and strumming upon that beautiful specimen is superior to any medication developed by man...nourishing to the soul and very life affirming,indeed.
beautiful, thank you for bringing back some sweet memories,
I haven't heard this for quite some time and love to hear these songs and will be back for more.
it a pleasure to meet you
