- This is an old Hymnal played by David Durrence, in his usual style of playing. The setting is his back yard in Waycross, Georgia. David is playing one of the dulcimers that he has build under the name of Caney Creek Dulcimers. The tuning is DAA, a half step higher to D#A#A#. I hope you are blessed.
My grandfather made dulcimers from the very trees on his property in KY..he passed away 2 weeks ago and loved to play this song..
So sorry for your loss. Your grandfather was very talented. What a special memory to cherish. ❤
Was his father a slave master? Kentucky? Most likely
@@MrLuckyCasino What does this have to do with anything? Vanessa didn't own slaves, her grandfather certainly didn't, and I'm sure if we went to your great-great grandparents there would be plenty in those days that they did that you'd not like either. So kindly keep this BS off beautiful music like this. Your great-great-grandparents would not approve.
@@larannassalenthani7516 I'm sure my great grandparents COULDN'T approve because they weren't allowed to because of the racist discriminate behavior your grandparents were complicit with
@@MrLuckyCasino Person: "I lost my grandfather but this music reminds me of him"
Reeshaud: "Yeah but your grandfather's grandfather was RACIST!!!"
YOU are the worst of society and I hope you learn to grow up.
This is my wonderful papa David! :) I love you!
--you're favorite dulcimer playing granddaughter
What
@@Rav_on_pawzz idk dude
Oh
I love him too! lol Beautiful music.
Your grandfather is a great man isn't he?
I live in the UK so this instrument isn't that well known but I'm glad to have discovered it. And playing one of my favourite hymns. Well don sir.
In one of YT clips a mountain man (Appalachian) whose name's Stanley Hicks said his greatgreat grand father brought a dulcimore( dulcimer) from England..
I just bought a mountain dulcimer at an estate sale. I have no idea how to play but plan on learning! It's a beautiful instrument! I came to You Tube to see what I could find and this was the first thing that popped up. We sang this as the closing song two years ago at my brother's funeral. It brought tears to my eyes to hear it played so beautifully and remembering that day...and has given me a goal! Thank you!
LuAnn Myers look for Brett Ridgeway dulcimer lessons on you tube!
LuAnn Meyers Have you played yet?
Check out a sweet lady named Mandy are TH-cam name is Banjo lemonade
I got one for Christmas in 2017.
Oh yes, this type of music needs to be kept alive! It's tradition! Thanks!
Hello from Australia..just finished watching ken burns doco on country music (I'm not even a big country music fan - hate that CMC shit). But there's something about the richness and depth of the American music tradition, that leaves me very jealous but also reaping the benefits of discovering. This style of folk music is one of those benefits. Deeply soulful and honest.
James McIntyre Hey FYI, Australia has a pretty rich folk tradition too, that draws heavily from the same sources Appalachian music does.
I can feel your love and respect for the instrument in the sound of this beautiful song... very skilled playing
I've been looking into medieval instruments to learn recently, and when I saw 'dulcimer' I expected something completely different. It's harmonious and beautiful and I wish you all the best sire
Please upload more! This brought tears to my eyes. Thank you!
I've recently inherited a mountain dulcimer and while I've got it oiled and tuned, I'm still figuring out how to make it work. This is instructive and inspirational. Thanks, man.
Thank you for showing the fret work. I am planning on buying a dulcimer and this will be the next song I learn! Blessings...
I love this! One of my favorite songs, but never heard it played on a dulcimer.
That really is something!! What a great instrument and performance, thanks for sharing!!✌
Half of my family line comes from Kentucky, though I've only spent a limited number of years living here. I'd never seen an 'Appalachian Dulcimer" until a 'Summer Reading Program' for my stepson did a demonstration. I had lived in England for a number of years and when I heard 'dulcimer' I didn't recognize what it was. I was more familiar with the hammered dulcimer I'd seen played at the European fairs. It's an interesting instrument for sure.
Thank you for sharing this. My Grandfather who has since gone to sleep in the Lord used to play a dulcimer and you brought back sweet, precious memories. Thank you!
This was my daddy's favorite song thank you for this beautiful version I enjoyed it. My husband was gifted a dulcimer we had never heard of one I just came to youtube to see what one sounded like but of course I just realized I know exactly what one looks like and sounds like because this instrument is used in a lot of great music that I love I just never knew what it was called until now.
Well done, beautiful music! Thank you for posting!!!
Dude, you made me cry. Awesome.
I just wanted to say, I've been through a lot in life lately, and this beautiful rendition of this song has helped carry me through many times. Thank you for playing this.
I think you made God smile when you played that! Exquisite! Thank you!
Beautiful music! I am just beginning to learn to play. I have a 6 string dulcimer. I wish now I could have started on a 4 string.
There is no rule that you have to keep all your strings on. I removed the extra melody string off my dulcimer and now play with three. You might consider taking all three extra strings off. See what you prefer. You can always put them on again.
Thank you, I will try taking one off at a time.
Your dulcimer sound is so clean and clear. Quite a treasure you have there
Your channel is my first exposure to this amazing stringed instrument. The sound seems to have an Appalachian and Irish flavor to it. Thank you and keep it up!
The Irish Connection Doesn’t Surprise Me… Most Of The People Who Went Out There Were Scots Irish Or Irish (With Some German As Well)
I found a dulcimer and I really want to get into it I love the sound😀
Beautiful!!! I love this song
I really love this song

Either hammered or mountain, I LOOOOVE the dulcimer!! This is BEAUTIFUL! Also, one of my most favorite hymns!! Thank you for sharing!!
That song speaks to my soul. Beautiful. Thank you for posting it.
Great job at the dulcimer, this is a great version!
I am blessed, thank you.
You are so good, I love this song so much!!!!!!!!!!!
That's a beautiful dulcimer! It reminds me of the one I have.
Very nice. Beautiful sounding dulcimer.
YUP !! And the player has a unique and cool last name too!! LOL!!
Please upload more. :D thank you for this gem.
I take my mother to a nearby Senior Center once a week and they have what they call "The Old-timers Band." They play this song every week and mostly I just want to screech! THANK YOU for playing this so well that I have enjoyed listening to it again! I purchased a dulcimer YEARS AGO...but just recently took it to task (learn). I shall strive to play as well as you some day.
Very nice. I've always liked that song.
What a beautiful first comment to read! You made my day and boy is your Papa talented, thanks much for sharing!
Great playing and dulcimer too 👍.
Excellent! Thank you for sharing this wonderful instrument with us. Nadine:)
Top notch. Way to go, Mr. Durrence!
Love this arrangement, heat playing
Thank you for sharing this. I could listen over and over.
I love this. I'm just thinking about getting into the dulcimer, and came across your video. Beautiful song and inspiring playing, thank you for sharing.
I too bought one at a local goodwill and another from a Great Aunt Katherine ( Kass ) to us kids. She was an amazing Irish woman talented, strong and resilient as he_l! And I used to be able to pluck out you are my sunshine, sorta😏.
Luv yah 💕
Wow, I loved the way you played that. It is very catching, got it stuck in my head now!
I am learning dulcimer and it encouraging to see videos of others playing. Thank you!
This video is making me want to take up the Dulcimer!
you should
Love the finger-noter style.
That one has a good ring to it. A very full sounding one.
Great job and nice song
We have two family dulcimers, one of them handmade and hand painted. Theyre so pretty in sound and appearance!
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you.
"Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things." Surely this counts as such a thing.
Офигенно. (Just freaking lovely).
Great sound!
Excellent job my friend. I envy your talent.
Whomever is reading this, God loves loves you so much and he is so good! Have a wonderdul day everyone! God bless!
Ah, now I know what this sounds like...
(My D&D bard has one)
No, your bard has a hammered dulcimer. It’s not even close to the same instrument, but the name has confused a lot of people.
I have a goliath champion fighter with the entertainer (gladiator) background who I decided to give proficiency in a musical instrument instead of an exotic/unusual weapon.
I chose dulcimer at character creation (my only frame of reference for what a dulcimer was came from watching the cartoon “The Weekenders”), then specified mountain dulcimer after a little research, deciding he received his custom made as a gift from his boyfriend (/almost intended?). An unlucky performance roll the second time he tried to play it in our campaign meant that he tripped and dropped it, but luckily it didn’t break ^^; .
@@bobthabuilda1525 There's no way a bard in DnD plays a hammered dulcimer, that instrument is huge
Is his name Frelik and does he have a jesting familiar named tartuffe, the spry wonderdog?
Dodger99 A bard with the entertainer background has up to 4 musical instrument proficiencies right at 1st level, so there’s probably a bard that can play the hammered dulcimer, they just don’t use it as their main on-the-road instrument / spellcasting focus.
i'm in KY and the dulcimer is here too, not sure if that's just in Appalachia or if other parts of the South play it too. we have these and the hammered ones, too. lovely playin and pretty song :) when i die, hallelujah, bye and bye, i'll fly away
Well done!! The sound is great and the tune well played. Thanks for sharing.
This is so wonderful!!
Beautiful talent
Very nice. It's so good to find another DAA player. Everyone seems to prefer DAD it seems. I like to play chordal style too, but this song really suits the drone style nicely.
You need to add more video, these are beautiful.
Great playing. Thanks for sharing. Nadine
Just gorgeous.
Happy I stumbled upon this.
I know right? This is really, really nice. I just wish the audio was a little cleaner.
Thats beautiful
SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was brilliant
Beautiful playing, this sounds great in Eb!
A good mix of twang and smoothness
awesome very good job.
Very Nice, thanks for sharing
Nice job 🎉Thanks
My favorite song on my favorite instrument! Thanx!!
Beautiful, mate!
Magnificent! Namaste!
One of my favorite hymns! ✝️

Alan Jackson also knocks this one out of the ballpark!
Love your technique
One of my favorites.😊
Beautiful
Well done!
🥰. One of my favorites.
Sounds like music that would play in the background of a Ken Burns documentary
Please post more of these songs! Love them. My granddaughter is learning to play the Dulcimer. There are not many songs on here with the Dulcimer, if they are someone is talking in them destroying the song. I want to just hear them play and sing.
Great job buddy!
PAPA DAVID... pimpin all the time
A wonderful song, and great timing by David--I would love to pick with you sometime,sir.
Very beautiful!!
Dave! If you’re the guy I used to coach with in Alaska it’s good to see you having some fun with that thing. If not it was still fun to listen to. Hope you are well. Joel Wieman
