Dulcimer Demo - "Rosin The Beau"

Bing Futch performs "Rosin The Beau" on mountain dulcimer. [Video note: this was recorded and posted before I began the "Dulcimerica" series, one of four experimental videos to sort of test the waters. I learned this tune by listening to a recording from Stephen Seifert off of his album "Mountain Dulcimer."

Beautiful version! You play with a lot of feeling. You ever heard The Market Town or Booth Shot Lincoln? They are both related Old Rosin the Bow.

@ivanrorick Thanks! I play a slower version of "Booth Shot Lincoln" and recognize that D to Bm feel that is in both. Love that - will listen to "Market Town" now just because of that. : ) I like "Sandy River Belle" for that progression too.

@ivanrorick Thank you! I have not heard "The Market Town" but I do play "Booth Shot Lincoln" - a bit slower than most - and I do hear some of the resemblance.

@dread66mon LOL! I already replied -

@dread66mon YW!!

@dread66mon The basic melody/progression is very old - "Market Town", "Booth Shot Lincoln" and "Old Rosin the Bow" are all derived from 17th century tune called "On the Cold Ground".
