I grabbed my copy as an mp3 download from CD Baby. Unfortunately the dulcimer tends to get totally buried in the mix, but you can actually hear it pretty well on Wedding Dress.khomushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16300367810603232592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5546110231287046396.post-47867185361636966292009-08-05T12:03:03.991-04:002009-08-05T12:03:03.991-04:00The only recorded version with which I'm famil...The only recorded version with which I'm familiar is Jody Stecher's and I like it a lot.

Thanks for letting me know about Mark N...Hi Gadaya!<br />Thanks for letting me know about Mark Nelson's DAG Dorian tab. Is it for noter style playing, or for chordal playing?<br />I agree that this song is actually in Dorian mode. But since only one extra-low note is in the tune to make it Dorian, and that one note can be avoided without drastically changing the flavor of the tune, I chose to work it out in Aeolian instead because so many people like to play in that mode. Besides I find it's easier to find tunes for Dorian than for Aeolian. ;D<br />I learned the song from Aubrey Atwater, dulcimer/banjo/singer/clogger/whistler extraordinaire.Strumeliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07111992200177574268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5546110231287046396.post-50914782214035059492009-07-25T18:58:23.342-04:002009-07-25T18:58:23.342-04:00Hi Strumelia, i love this song too.I know two vers...Hi Strumelia, i love this song too.I know two versions:one by the English folk group Pentangle and the other by Jody Stecher on his first album (available on my blog "Times ain't like they used to be" by the way) Actually, there's already a dulcimer tab version of "Wedding dress" in Mark nelson's book "Favorite old-time american songs for dulcimer". His version is in DAG (which is nice for the low notes of the melody) and he says it's in the Dorian mode...Gadayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00089178323441342136noreply@blogger.com
