"All right!  I enjoyed this rendition a lot.  I play it with the band and back up.  So It's fun to think about what I would do if we decided to each take a break.  I might just learn from your video and do a noter…"

"Wonderfully played, John!  And you've got the hang of how to embed a video.  There is one small step you need to take for adding this tune to "Call the Tune", though.  The video needs to be embedded in a discussion…"

Ken, many thanks!
Laura, Mark, and I were at an open jam at a public park lodge and a fellow recorded the jam. It was magical to hear Laura play, most especially on The Blackest Crow and Star of the County Down. As she wrote, we plan to get together to make music-- Mark and I are really looking forward to it. (Laura is a fantastic improvisational player!)

Thankyou Flint
Mark, Robin and I are planning on working out some more songs together soon. Should be fun. They are a wonderful couple and excellent musicians, although they would never admit to that. Stay tuned.

Thank you for your comment Ken, it helps to get feedback. I am pleased that you mentioned the pacing, I tried to remember that it is a song, and someone told me a long time ago do'nt try to play an Irish air unless you can sing it. I can't sing these days (my wife would have me believe that I never could, LOL)

Best wishes
John

Thanks for your comment about "Bonny At Morn", Ken! It's been one of my favourite tunes for a long, long time, and I loved playing it on John Henry's TMB. (We just got back to the UK today from a holiday in Canada, so I've only just seen what you wrote.)

Visit Strumelia's Beginner Noter-Drone dulcimer Blog

I have a main blog for Traditional style mountain dulcimer playing here: Mountain Dulcimer Noter-drone Blog This is an old style of playing where you only fret your notes on the melody string, while letting the drones strings ring open. In my blog, I express my personal views about playing, I offer free TAB and free beginner videos, and I try to help beginners understand in a very basic simple way the 'mysteries' of playing the mountain dulcimer in traditional modal noter/drone style.
