Subject: RE: Your favourite tunes on lap dulcimer
Because Shaker tunes always sound right on MD: Love Is Little, Bow and Be Simple, Shaker Life (minor tuning).
Because the Mixolydian mode scratches itches that you can't get at any other way: Black Is the Color, The Cruel Sea, Goin' to Boston.
Because they joined the MD to mainstream music: Sweet Lady Jane, Pack Up Your Sorrows, Wendy Waldman's Spring Is Here.
Because some Christmas tunes sound good all year: The Cherry Tree Carol.
Just because: Aragon Mill.
