Thread Name: Your favourite tunes on lap dulcimer
Subject: RE: Your favourite tunes on lap dulcimer
The Water is Wide is beautiful on the dulcimer, so is Dvorak's Whatever, the other title of which is, I think, Going Home. The Masterpiece Theater music, whatever that is. Lots of Jewish folk tunes...don't know names. The poem Golden Apples of the Sun set to music (heard on a Judy Collins album)...very beautiful. Also a great old Dillard dance tune...Same old man, sittin' on a mill, mill turns around of it's own free will, grain in the hopper and the other in a sack...ladies step forward while the gents step back. Jack o'Diamonds. Anathea.

Sounds like you've got a pretty good list of your own, Kat! How do you like playing for Hospice...been thinking about doing that myself....
