2 second song: "8 Miles to Lanesville" - and Introducing the Dulcilele!

I got this cool stick dulcimer from tinyguitars:
http://www.youtube.com/user/tinyguitars

and haven't put it down since. It's a 3-string dulcimer neck attached to a Grizzly ukulele kit body. Tuned D-A-d, it can't really play a wrong note. I dub it the dulcilele, but I should call it the dolce-lele, because it's sooooo sweet. ......Sorry.

I came up with this tune tonight while talking to my wife. Sounds like it has existed for years already and probably has. Do you ever write a song and then think, "Hmmm, this is too obvious. It must already exist"? If you recognize the tune, let me know. If not, give me the credit! :)

This is the first and only take for this video. Sorry. In a hurry!

@casetone2514 Thanks. I'm thinking that it would work well on your folk tune covers

That sounded great.  Dulcimer is pretty easy to make sound very dull, but you rocked it here, sir, even with the tiny song.

[UKISOCIETY]

@BenTheWriter You're right about being an easy inst. to make dull. That's part of the fun challenge. Thanks, Ben!
