About any tune one would play on the fiddle or banjo works well on the mountain dulcimer. The instrument has such a great sound with the drones and the possibilities for rhythmic drive. For anyone interested, I'll be teaching a couple of short workshops on the dulcimer at the Great River Road Festival in Grafton, Illinois next week, August 20 and 21. One for absolute beginners and one teaching a couple of tunes in A. Probably Art Stamper's version of "Goodbye Girls, I'm Going To Boston", and either "Wolves a'Howlin'" or "Horse and Buggy-O". Peace, Sean R-B
