@HeyShayPrettyPenny -Big Grin- Thank you very much! :-D

[greendaysaint8302]

[jayrbee60]

[maggielovesmustard]

I am about to build myself a teardrop mountain dulcimer and I would love to be able to play this song someday! Where can I get the tabs, this is beautiful! Complete inspiration to a eager beginner.

[jayrbee60]

@maggielovesmustard Wow thank you so much! You can try a search on everythingdulcimer and they have a very good resource page of tabs. I'm not sure where I got the tabs for this one , but I kind of added the chords to it myself. But if you like I can try and tab it out for you. Let me know if you can't find it, and I will look harder. Thanks again!

[jayrbee60]

@onewomanandsomesongs I love this one too, but thank you so much for watching and taking the time for your generous comments! They are very appreciated!

[mickdaniels1]

This is great John, good job...the Ducimer sounds very good also

[jayrbee60]

@mickdaniels1 Thank you very much! This is another old favorite of mine!

[oldfolkiepad]

You're in great form on this song, John; it suits your voice and the dulcimer accompaniment perfectly. Your playing has come on by leaps and bounds and is a real pleasure to listen to. Lovely story behind the song, too; I'd not heard this before.

Best wishes,

Paddy

[jayrbee60]

@oldfolkiepad Thank you so much Paddy! That makes me smile. I also have found that looking into a song's history can give one a deeper appreciation for the interpretation. There always seems to be a longer story than what first appears in many of these old traditional tales!

Best regards!!!

[oldnrone]

Sounds good...gotta love them irish songs!

[jayrbee60]

@oldnrone Thanks Guy! Sure do! :-)

[jayrbee60]

@oldnrone Thanks Guy! Sure enough do!

[classican]

Fabulous John!!!!! Great performance!!! I've always loved this song.

[jayrbee60]

@classican Thanks again Pete... Me too, I'm surprised it wasn't up a long time ago. (or maybe it is, I should clean the crap out my closet!)

[rpatt100]

Very good , that tune fits really good with the dulcimer .

[jayrbee60]

@rpatt100 Thanks! I'm finding the dulcimer fits well with a lot of these old songs!

[losthills]

Great job, John. My mother used to sing this song around the house. Brought back some memories...

[jayrbee60]

@losthills Thanks Archie, yes, this is a good old song! Thanks for the visit! :-)

[jayrbee60]

@sinawava42 THANK YOU!!!! I love your stuff!

[geoff1945]

What a great sound you are getting with voice and dulcimer, cousin. I am ashamed to admit that I had not heard that tale before so thanks for the extra enlightenment.

[jayrbee60]

@geoff1945 Thanks Cousin! :-) Yes, it is a sad, but heartwarming tale. Thanks for stopping in!

[Cameragirl803]

Prefect one to do on the dulcimer! Thumbs Up!!

[jayrbee60]

@Cameragirl803 Thank you so much Jane! Always great to hear from you - you make me smile! have a great weekend!

[cariboubill]

I enjoyed that, Jay. My Mom used to sng that when I wa a kid. The dulcimer gives just the right spirit to match the sad tale you told. ...Bill

[jayrbee60]

@cariboubill Thanks Bill! I love this old tune, and someday I'll probably do the Irish song to it. Thanks for the visit!

John

[Johnfern99]

[nllleonard]

Sounds just right, friend. Enjoyed it very much! Puts me in mind of Scotland...would love to go back. NAncy

[jayrbee60]

@nllleonard Thanks NAncy (don't quite know the "NA" part of NAncy, but I'm getting used to it! :) Never been to Scotland, but I certainly have a lovely vision if it.

[rhopen]

Love that dulcimer John. Thanks again for bringing these great old songs back to life so well. -Ron

[jayrbee60]

@rhopen Thank you very much Ron! Unfortunately, my wife is sick of it, so I tote it along when I go out of town. I just love playing it so much! In my wife's defense though, I can get rather repetitive... lol

[derekeverett]

This is awesome. I was introduced to this song by a punk rock version believe it or not. But I've loved it ever since. It comforts me to know somewhere in the world there are people with dulcimers in hotel rooms singing these songs. Proves the world hasn't totally gone to hell.

[jayrbee60]

@derekeverett LOL, Thanks for the chuckle Derek, Truly appreciated. I am very curious to see the punk rock version, is it on YT? I've been caled a punk, and also as dumb as a rock, but I doubt this would qualify as a "punk rock" version.

[dleewhee]

I think this is a wonderful video! Max put it perfectly! thank you for giving this wonderful video to us!

Smiles,

Dona'

[jayrbee60]

@dleewhee Thank you so much! I've been away for a few day and hope to catch up with your videos very soon! Thanks for the smile!

[stewballmax3]

Hello

John...

It is for folks like yourself that keep me returning to You Tube...where I can find a musical showcase that inspires,captivates and compels in all of its sweet simplicity. You kind sir,have gone far beyond the performance and have entered the ultra-rare, higher and more significant plane of genuine authenticity. Thank you for perpetuating these traditional classics for the future generations to come.

Pax,

Max

[jayrbee60]

@stewballmax3 Thank you Max. Your comment is a breath of fresh air. A very good and talented friend has left youtube, and another is leaving due to getting over run with bad comments. It is heartbreaking to see that happen, when there is such good musical talent and knowledge in everybody yet with just a few words, some of the greatest performers leave. Thank you for all your support!
