Playing Songs with a Hammered Dulcimer: Part 2
Hi! I'm Tim Van Egmond speaking on behalf of expertvillage.com speaking about the hammered dulcimer. If you would like to know more about me, you can find my website at www.timvanegmond.com. Another example is a technique that is bringing out the melody and pretty much playing it with some chord accompaniment as you sing. So take the old song Grandfather's Clock. So that could be used both as a solo just for featuring your instrument but you could also do my grandfathers clock was too tall for the shelf so it stood 90 years by the door. It was smaller by half than the old man himself though though it weighed not a ___ ___ more. It was bought on the morn of the same day he was born and was always his pleasure and pride but it stopped short and never did go again when the old man died. Ninety years without slumbering, tick tock, tick tock. His life seconds numbering tick tock, tick tock. But it stopped, short never did go again when the old man died.
