This is the time of year you need to put the shine on the "love songs" in your repertoire. Here are some suggestions of tunes you could practice.
- Girl I Left Behind Me is said to have been played when soldiers left for war or a naval vessel set sail. The first known printed text of a song with this name appeared in the serial song collection printed in Dublin in 1791. The tune is taught by Linda Thomas on hammered dulcimer.
- Jesus Loves Me is taught by Steve Eulberg on mountain dulcimer in both D-A-A and D-A-d tuning, and Linda Ratcliff on hammered dulcimer. Written almost 150 years ago, "Jesus Loves Me" is still the #1 spiritual song in the hearts of children around the world. I believe that it is because all of us, deep down, need to be reassured that God loves us dearly.
- You Are My Sunshine is a popular song written by Jimmie Davis and Charles Mitchell and first recorded in 1939. It has been declared one of the state songs of Louisiana because of its association with Davis, a country music singer and governor of the state in the years 1944–1948 and 1960–1964. The tune is taught by Steve Eulberg on hammered dulcimer within a lesson on rich chords.
- Angeline the Baker is an old time love song derived from a sentimental song by Stephen Foster, called "Angelina Baker," whose lyrics tell about a slave who is parted from her lover when sold. It is taught by Steve Eulberg in D-A-A tuning, and by Erin Mae Lewis on mountain dulcimer in D-A-d tuning and also by Erin for our chromatic dulcimer players.
You should choose one of these, or another tune close to your heart, to play for your sweetheart this month.
DULCIMER CLUBS PAGE
We have added a Dulcimer CLUBS Page to our website (see the 3rd tab from the right at the top). Our vision is to provide as complete a list of dulcimer clubs as possible. But we need a LOT of help to fill in all the blanks with up-to-date information. If your club is not listed, or if the contact information is missing, just click here to fill out our information form with all the details we need to include yours on the map.
