Hi Rick,

Nice to hear from you! Thanks for the kind words. I've been browsing the videos you have up on YouTube as well - very nice tunes! I'm especially intrigued by your original tune "Mosquito Rag" - aptly named! ;-)

btw, I'll be heading back to SW Florida in a couple of weeks. January is a great time of year to escape the midwest, do a little dulcimer playing/teaching, and hang out on the beach!

Thanks Tull,

I am pleased to see you on youtube. Your playing is so beautiful and it is helpful to see how you play. This song is very beautiful and it also reminds me of "How Great Thou Art" in places.

Thanks for your comments. I'd not thought about the similarity to "How Great Thou Art", but you're right, it does seem to have a similar section in the chorus that "soars". I think one of the keys to playing this tune is the use of slides, and also some "vibrato" - makes it sound more "slack-keyish", or perhaps "ukule-ish". It's fun to listen to all the other versions of this tune you can find on YouTube!

Very pretty. Thanks. Makes me want to relax on a beach in Appalachia.
