I've uploaded another fiddle tune from Kentucky this week on YouTube. Bullfrog on a Puncheon Floor is a very neat tune I learned several years ago from Don Pedi.

Sometimes I'm fooling around with a tune I know that I think "This can't possibly be played on dulcimer", and then it falls right into place and I'm totally amazed. Playing this Romanian tune out of E major in D tuning turned out to be the key to making it work on dulcimer. This week's offereing is just such a tune. It is a traditional Romanian folk dance tune I've played on pennywhistle for many years which I thought I'd try on dulcimer for lark. The key to making it work was to play it in E major from DAD tuning.

This week's offering is the version of Old Joe Clark I knew as a youngster. It's in a minor key and quite different from the one commonly played in the dulcimer community.

Here's a sample of the verses:

When I was a little boy, I used to want a knife.
Now I am a bigger boy, I'd rather have a wife.

When I was a little girl, I used to play with toys.
Now I am a bigger girl, I'd rather play with boys.
