@@billresseguie1604 Thank you! Yes, ever since I posted that, youtube's algorithm has been recommending other versions of the song. 😃The dulcimer sound really brings out the rich melody.
@@HalfPersianMan You know where I see something Persian here in the Niagara Peninsula? Carpets, in the hotels and motels of Niagara Falls. I have seen a dark carpet taken out to be cleaned, the water running black for a long time, until a beautiful woven pattern and colors starts to show. You might wonder why. The Niagara Peninsula had the first commercial hydro in the world, and the 600 mile radius around Niagara Falls is the richest area on earth, including New York City. My Scot ancestry comes from an area closer to Persia, now known as Iraq. Don't hesitate to teach me a word or phrase.
I didn't ever expect to have a Scot moment here in TH-cam, and it could never be about history, it would have to be music or dance. Bay-an-ucklet. However, I'm sad to see the "Blind Faith" album behind you. When they played Toronto, Eric Clapton was left behind, he was so stoned he couldn't get it together onstage. Local people, Bonnie and Delaney took him in and helped him recover, starting to play with them onstage. That's when Clapton came out with his Mark Knoffler tone, playing a Strat, as country, and as Jimi, as he got. Is there any such thing as the skirlin'a the dulcimer? You'd have to hit it harder.
Interesting story about Eric Clapton. He also passed out onstage during George Harrison’s Concert for Bangladesh. Probably other stories too. Maybe that is why he couldn't seem to keep a band together for more than a year or so during that time.
@@billresseguie1604 I didn't know that about Bangladesh. I was talking about that yesterday with a girl from Bangladesh, in Niagara Falls. Here we have England, taking over Bangladesh, running it into the ground, and running away. And then we have the first Beatles concert and album from a Beatle after they broke up, not Paul or John, but George, the "quiet Beatle", and it's a charity for Bangladesh. That's so British. And I know what happens backstage with rock charities. When I was sixteen I could play everything Clapton played on John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers with three fingers. Anyway, we're talking rock, not classical or jazz.
Beautiful!
Thanks! I saw that you posted a version of Mist Covered Mountains of Home on your channel. I love it.

I love to hear the Dulcimer. Thank You!
Thank you Sue!
Very nice work and talent plus patience it takes to play such an interesting instrument.
Thanks for the nice comment!
this one is a very pretty tune !thank you
Yes, I want this played at my funeral.
In Persian, it is called "Santoor" and the thing you hit the cords with, is called "Mezrab".
Every culture kind of developed this type of instrument independently, however Persia seems to be the first.
@@billresseguie1604 i know. I just wrote it for people who are interested in Persian language / art / culture.
@@billresseguie1604 on the other hand, a beautiful performance.
