Bing Futch Playing Dulcimer: "Gold Trails Hotel"

[Bredification]

That was great!

[dread66mon]

No "Bile", but there's "Ragtime Annie", "Old Joe Clark" and some improv.

Great playing! I worked with a dulcimer player for 3 years (not your caliber!). We included a non-folk tune "High Heeled Sneakers" playing on the 5th (ie. harmonica "cross harp") "D" dulcimer became a "A" Blues dulcimer. Worked pretty well with acoustic guitar accompanyment.

[dread66mon]

Thanks! "A" works really well for blues on dulcimer, as does "F#" - you've actually got the full pentatonic scale there to play with! Thanks for watchin'!!

Please, PLEASE let me know if ever you're going to play in New Zealand. I'm a flautist, and would give my right arm to have a jam with you! I have a dulcimer, too, but I'm not terribly good on it yet.

[dread66mon]

Gosh, what I would give for a trip to New Zealand! I'm attempting to arrange some overseas performances of the festival sort for next year. If you know of any festivals that would like a dulcimer player, let me know! It would be great to have some flute to jam with! (Maybe even some dulcimer by that time, who knows?) Thanks for watching!

[wvlavender]

I realy ejoyed this one... if fact keep these videos and pod cast going and I'll be able to play like an expert soon and I haven't even gotten a dulcimer yet.

thanks!

[dread66mon]

LOL! Thanks, we hope to get you playing in no time!

[wvlavender]

Well so far, I can play basic scales (very sowly, because my imaginary fake dulcimer doesn't make any noise) and I can play old joe clark and soldiers joy.. well I can finger it.. just don't know what it sounds like yet. lol

[dread66mon]

Mahalo - thank you so much - that means a lot to me!

[midnightmoonshine]

[dread66mon]

Thank you very much!
