Just A Little Wildwood Mountain Flower, For Saturday Night...

I own a Black Mountain McSpadden Dulcimer and thought a true picker would be a nice Spring treat.

Good weekend to all....

Really cool. Never heard of one before till my Dad bought one in Memphis, Tennessee last year. He retires in a few weeks and wants to learn how to play it.

One of the easiest musical instruments to play. Open tuning keeps the fretboard interaction to a minimum, and a great instrument to just let loose on,..
 With a title like Whiskey Before Breakfast" how can you go wrong....

and us Southerners kinda like it simple,,......

Can I get an Amen?

Of course I would be remiss in advising that true southerners live in the Southern Hemisphere 

Of course we havent evolved enough to pluck strings and make it sound purdy, we still have to humm loudly, still we can say with full authority squeal like a pig to our tresspassing northern types.

Of course your idea of a "Northern Invader" has sex with goats and speaks Urdu Farsi or Arabic.

TW- is that you playing in any of those vids? Nice post.
I was lent a "kit" dulcimer 30 years ago and I played it for about a year. I missed it and never had money to get one of my own, but I think some day I'll pick one up. They are an incessantly joyful instrument to play. There's a woman I work with who's husband builds guitars and dulcimers, and maybe I'll see if I can wangle one out of him.

No it's not me playing on the vids. But I do enjoy a Southern Adult beverage on ice, from time to time, on the evening patio. Mine is practically identical except for the pic guard. Being left handed on stringed instruments, I didn't even have to flip the string order. I just play it as is...

Bought in Black Mountain NC.

Will be getting a hammered dulcimer when I'm not stockpiling guns, ammo, and food so much.....
