Great song! One of my favorites I have heard so far on the mountain dulcimer

I just got my first dulcimer, still trying ot figure everything out but I hope to get as good as you!

[BuckoFutreal]

It's just a matter of time, crazyrareta! Good luck with it!

A really nice composition...and a beautifully haunting melody.

As has been said so many times before, the dulcimer does sing a sweet song and you sing it well.

[ramblinerikajane]

really beautiful.

Bravo! So refreshing. Can't wait to share this with people.

I can see the fence, five strand rusty barbed wire, stapled to pealed pine split logs, hanging loose in places, posts standing upright in the earth. The fence builders didn't try to set it straight, it mostly follows the lay of the land and zigs here, zags there. You can see it disappearing over the horizon, just there, if you look hard enough.

You've been in my brain...

Thanks for the sterling prose!

Very sweet - too often, we do something cool and wish we'd recorded it. How awesome that you caught this. : )

[BuckoFutreal]

Thanks, Bing!

Nice.

is wire mountain a real place or somewhere fictional?

[BuckoFutreal]

Thanks.

There is a real Wire Mountain in Utah.

However, the Wire Mountain of the title is a fictionalized place inspired by a climb I made to the peak of Ratcliff Mountain in Haywood County, NC. Though the top of this mountain seems to be simple wilderness, I discovered an aged barbed wire fence running for miles along the remote ridge. It was sad and weird ... and stuck in my imagination.
