This song seems like a fiddle tune to me, and yes in my mind it would sound rather "A-ish" for fiddle.Strumeliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07111992200177574268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5546110231287046396.post-20526757929708156782009-04-23T15:30:00.000-04:002009-04-23T15:30:00.000-04:00Just stumbled across your blog.

Until I went to a dulcimer festival some years ago, I'd never heard it out of anything but A. My band plays and sings it, but we transposed it down to G, because it was too high for us to sing comfortably (especially the harmony) in A. So, things come full circle, I guess.<br /><br />- Sean R-BSeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17762808276086288310noreply@blogger.com
