May, 2012 Bellingham Dulcimer Club Meeting Report
Excellent turnout yesterday, despite the gorgeous weather. The meeting included:
- Four (4) "capo'd to Em" tunes: "The Three Ravens", "Hatikvah", "Cluck Old Hen" and "Rhythum".
- A Mary Z. Cox arrangement of "Goodbye Girls, I'm Going to Boston" (taken from the latest Dulcimer Players' News) and a very similar sounding "June Apple". Both tunes in D and included C-chords.
- And a guitar/dulcimer chord version of "To Live is to Fly".
Thanks to Bob and Cindy Friendman for the Townes Van Zandt tune and a special "Glad you could join us" to "first-timer" Leigh Giovane from La Conner. See you all in September . . .
