Traditional Music
Dec. 31st, 2008 05:03 pmKarl's been playing the dulcimer a lot recently. Some of what he plays are tunes he's made up, while others are songs he's heard and figured out how to play. This morning, he was playing Greensleeves, which is one of my favorite tunes, this afternoon, it was Shady Grove.
We got to talking about it and pulled up a video on YouTube of Jean Richie playing Shady Grove while Peete Seeger listened, from the old Rainbow Quest television show.

We also listened to her play Blackwaters, while one son accompanied her and another looked on.

That one can move you to tears.
