Combining Pachelbel's Canon with Jolly Old Saint Nicholas is musical genius. I wish I had 1/10th the musical talent that you have. That was WONDERFUL! I'll keep working at it, but I don't expect to ever catch up!!

Years back I was walking in a park. I heard a wonderful sound. I followed the sound to see a man who looked like Charles Manson playing an instrument I had never seen or heard before. I began to talk to the man. I asked him what kind of an instrument he was playing. He said it was the hammered dulcimer. I asked him, where, how did you learn to play? He said when he was in Viet Nam. I was fascinated with his story, the instrument itself and the beautiful sounds it made. I've been fascinated with the dulcimer ever since. DeeDee, thanks for showcasing this amazing instrument. I love it.

[@deedeetibbits]

Wow! What an interesting story… thanks for sharing it!

[@buggyridge]

Lovely DeeDee! Really enjoying your channel since we found you a couple weeks ago. About 2 hours west of you in Montcalm County. Merry Christmas!

[@deedeetibbits]

Thanks, so glad you enjoy the channel! Merry Christmas to you too! 🎄

[@Deogratias-lp7ok]

It's amazing how many songs go well with Canon in D. There's an excellent version with the First Noel that I just sing with our school choir.

[@deedeetibbits]

Oooo… I’ll try that!

[@kathleencove]

This is such a beautiful Christmas carol, reminds me of hearing it when I was a child and the choir would sing it

[@deedeetibbits]

I know! Seems like you don’t hear it as much anymore!

[@kathleencove]

@ That goes for all caroling unfortunately, I wish that tradition wouldn’t fall away. It’s a beautiful tradition

[@Gartenlust]

Beautiful! 🤩

[@phyllishoward1699]

Great idea…I’m going to try a harp version. I’ve been playing Pachelbel’s with The First Noel; time to try another!

[@deedeetibbits]

Sounds fun, let me know how it goes!

[@scotts.2624]

Unfortunately the recording level was much too low. I have the volume full up and can barely hear it.
