Sheebeg Sheemore on Mountain Dulcimer

Linda Brockinton playing Sheebeg Sheemore

Are you stuck in a rut? No hobbies? No musical talent, or so you think?! Always wanted to play an instrument, but never got around to it?

 

Try the Mountain Dulcimer, it will open up a whole new world for you like it did for me.

 

Yes, I have Mountain Fever...Mountain Dulcimer Fever that is. It is so fun and simple yet complicated. Thanks to my sister, I have a new passion. Now we are 4 sisters on a journey as we also have another sister and a sister-in-law hooked. If you ever have the opportunity to hear or try this instrument, I urge you to do so. It is affordable, portable, social, mentally stimulating and down right FUN!

 

 

This is one of the songs I am trying to learn for our Sister Strings next gathering. Soooooooooooo pretty, I can't stand it!

 

I only hope to play it 1/10th as well as Linda, what an inspiration.

Does it count if I can do the harmonic right?
