Wow--

Malcolm, that was impressive musically and electronically; the image of the folks singing is a real keeper.

Pinetop--I made inquiry through U. West Virginia's web site, but have not heard back yet. I'll be glad to share what I get if anything. I take it your grandfather is no longer living--?? Have you ever heard the song? Very haunting and very 'down home' at the same time.

You were helpful, Spaw, but I still have my basic question: How, if at all, does the stringing of an "English" dulcimer differ from that of a Kentucky, etc.?
