I cover Beth/Rest by Bon Iver on Dulcimer...I don't know what a "hawser" or "soffit" but this song is beautiful!

That was a really great cover; I like the song stripped down from its original version, and you did a great job with it. I have a question for you, Jenny. I don't know much about dulcimers, but most of them I've seen have been twangy, high-pitched, and kind of annoying to me, but yours sounds really deep and springy, and I was wondering if there was a reason behind that. Maybe it's just the tuning, or it's an unusual kind?

Hi Ed...I tuned it low to all As. I tune everything weirdly! Thanks for listening and your kind words!

Hey Jenny,

You Rock, You're version was almost like hearing it anew :). Keep up the good work and I wonder what will be next from you, perhaps something from Sufjan Stevens?

Thanks

[jennygillespiesinger]

Hey maybe so! I love Sufjan, especially Illinoise as I'm an Illinois-ian. Thanks for your kind words!

Beautiful voice.

Jenny that would be cool, I was thinking of one song by him, "Casimir Pulaski Day". If you ever set your voice and Dulcimer to it I am sure you would do a kick as version of Joni Mitchel songs like "Richard", "Case of You" ;). Thanks and Keep on Rocking :)
