Saturday's video
... shows my dulcimer teacher, Don Pedi of Madison County, N.C. (at left), jamming on one of the tunes I want to play at our jam session from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, Nov. 7, in the barn at Clayville Historic Site, Ill. 125, Pleasant Plains.
We'll practice our selections Saturday for the annual soup supper gig. It's the third Wednesday in Advent this year, Dec. 16 (exact time TBA). Then we'll go around the room and call for tunes, songs -- or whatever -- we want to play. I've always wanted to sneak "Rock the Cradle Joe" into the Christmas program, maybe calling it "Rock the Cradle Joseph" in honor of the season? But I've always been overruled on that.
Playlist for Dec. 16
Here also, for convenient reference, is the music for Dec. 16. Links are to dulcimer tab w/ guitar chords available on line. But these songs are pretty standard, and the chords -- as always -- can be varied as you see fit. The songs are:
-- I Saw Three Ships -- (we'll play as an instrumental) http://barbfeick.com/vaudeville/Tabs/Dulcimer/Christmas%20DAA/I_Saw_Three_Ships_DAA.pdf.
-- Cherry Tree Carol -- (lyrics and chords on "DAA" tab) http://archive.dulcimersessions.com/dec07/smith.html.
-- What Child is This -- (dulcimer tab with lyrics and chords) http://www.thedulcimerhymnal.com/resources/media/What_Child_Is_This2.pdf (in E minor, a key that dulcimers can play in DAD tuning).
-- Joy to the World -- (dulcimer tab with lyrics and chords) http://www.thedulcimerhymnal.com/resources/media/Joy_to_the_World.pdf
-- Silent Night -- (melody and chords) http://www.threeriversdulcimersociety.net/Music/Silent%20Night%20-%203RDS%20(ME%20111213).pdf.
-- Silent Night -- (lyrics and chords in D) -- https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/s/sponge_cola/silent_night_crd.htm.
They're all in "D for dulcimer," except "What Child is This" in Em.
